I love this question, because what I teach with #WeSowWeGrow is less a single “definitive guide” and more a living, growing toolkit that I share across a few spaces.

Based on what I’ve shared so far, my “guide” looks like this:

  1. Learn and grow in community: our private Facebook group is a safe space for questions, photos, wins, and mistakes
  2. Focus on food education and food sovereignty, especially for urban communities like the South Side of Chicago
  3. Start where you are: containers, backyards, community plots—no farm needed
  4. Grow what you’ll actually eat: greens, tomatoes (I’ve grown 22 varieties), squash, peppers, corn, watermelon, and more
  5. Share both successes and failures so my mistakes save you time and money

If you want the closest thing to a step‑by‑step guide, it lives in:

  1. The We Sow We Grow Facebook community (ongoing Q&A and Lives)
  2. The We Sow We Grow Project site, where I talk about our mission and seasonal growing
  3. My posts where I walk through what I’m planting, preserving, and harvesting each season

Would you like a simple, written starter plan (what to do in your first 30 days of urban farming with We Sow We Grow principles)?
