The Urban Harvest LLC I help Florida & subtropical gardeners grow organic food through expert-led classes & heirloom seeds. Partnered with Home Depot & Kellogg Garden.

Featured on HGTV, Martha Knows Best, Bay News 9, & The Survival Podcast. Our mission is to help people learn the basics of sustainable vegetable gardening so that they can lead healthier, happier lives and have a positive impact on our planet that leaves a legacy our children to be proud of. We firmly believe that “living green” can be more than just an idea – it is not a fad but a reality! As people become aware of the implications of our current industrial food system, most realize that making changes are necessary and inevitable. By voting with our personal choices and our dollars we can start to shift the unsustainable food system that is currently in place to one that will support a viable future for our growing world. It all starts from the ground up and we are here to help by providing the educational resources necessary to empower people to start making these changes.

November is one of the best months to plant in Florida. 🥬 Cooler nights, less bugs, and a long list of crops that love it!

Save this so you have it when you’re standing at the garden bed wondering what to plant.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither was my homestead! 🌱🐓

When I look around at everything we’ve created here, from our vegetable gardens to our compost systems, chickens and fruit trees, it’s sometimes hard to believe how far we’ve come in just a little over 7 years.

Despite what it looks like on social media, none of this happened overnight!

It’s taken years of learning, experimenting, making mistakes, changing plans, and figuring out what works for our family and the space we have.
And if there’s one thing I hope you take away from seeing our little urban homestead, it’s that you don’t need acres of land, a huge budget, or to have everything figured out before you start growing more of your own food.

You can start with a few containers on your patio, a single raised bed, or one fruit tree, and you can build from there…one season at a time!
That’s a big part of why I wrote my very first book, The Urban Harvest Guide: Grow Real Food, Cultivate Community, and Feed Your Family Seasonally.
I want more people to see what’s possible right where they are, with what they have, and feel empowered to start creating a life that’s a little more connected to the food they eat.

 You don’t need to build my homestead. You get to build one that works for YOU.

Cedar Bay cherry for the win! 🍒 My first fruit after just 2 years, and it was delicious.

I’m growing all of these “cherries”:
🍒 Cedar Bay
🍒 Barbados
🍒 Surinam
🍒 Cherry of the Rio Grande
🍒 Grumichama

None of them are true Bing cherries, but they’re all delicious.

If you want low maintenance, pick fruit that’s naturally suited to your growing conditions instead of fighting for every fruit. Choose what thrives and it practically grows itself.

Yes, it might have a different name. Yes, it might look or taste a little different. But hey, variety is the spice of life, right?!

Which one would you try first? 👇

Inspired by a recent email I received inquiring if I sold any Hybrid seeds, as she was told that’s the only thing that will grow here in Florida.

Here’s the breakdown of what’s what. Most importantly, I want to encourage and support folks saving their own seeds for the following season.

That said, there is nothing wrong with using hybrid seeds on occasion for particularly susceptible crops, like squash. You just know when you purchase those seeds that you will not be able to reliably save seeds for next year from those plants.

If you are looking for a curated selection of heirloom seeds (no hybrids) that thrive in Florida and other similar hot and humid climates, I’ve got you covered. You’d be surprised to know there are plenty of crops that just aren’t bothered by fungal and disease issues very often.

Sometimes these are the “oddball” alternative type veggies that taste just like the crop you want to grow but come from a different plant family, making them better suited or easier to grow than their traditional counterparts.

This is my specialty and what you will find in my curated collection of seeds on the site as well as all of my content.

Ever find a healthy seedling chopped clean off at the soil line? Meet the cutworm, the lumberjack of the caterpillar world 🪓🐛

They hide in the soil during the day and come out at night to chew through young stems. The best defense is keeping them out:

✅ Wrap the stem with tin foil or a paper towel roll
✅ Push it about an inch into the soil with another inch above the soil
✅ Keep it snug to the stem
✅ Clear away twigs or mulch touching the stem
✅ You only need it for about a week, until the stem toughens up

This is exactly why I’m so particular about the seeds I offer at The Urban Harvest!

🌱 My collection focuses on open-pollinated, heirloom varieties that are well-suited to our growing conditions in Florida and other sub-tropical and Southern climates, including some lesser-known crops you might not have considered growing before, like Tokyo Bekana, Yardlong beans and Aji Dulce Pepper. 

And while my online seed shop is catered to growing food here in Florida, many of my favorites are also loved by gardeners from North Carolina all the way to East Texas!

🌱 Explore my curated seed collection at The Urban Harvest. You can find the link in my bio or comment SHOP and I’ll send you with a message with a link to shop. 

P.S- If you’re ready to grow your own gardening skills, my Garden Kickstart Bundle is available through the end of October! Three online classes for just $12, saving you tons of YouTube rabbit holes and round about circles with AI.

The bundle is a great way to get started with seeds selected for our unique growing conditions. I cover everything from foundations and seed starting to harvesting.

Yep, you read that right! Homesteading and growing your own food does NOT equal self-sufficiency. And it’s something I talk about in my new book, The Urban Harvest Guide: Grow Real Food, Cultivate Community, and Feed Your Family Seasonally, which is now available for preorder (linked in my bio)!

I grew up gardening with my dad, but it wasn’t until my adult life that I got serious about food systems, my family’s health, and growing our own food.

Fast forward to now, with over 20+ years of growing and sourcing our food with minimal reliance on big box stores, I can tell you that, with certainty, true resilience doesn’t come from doing everything yourself. It comes from the community and relationships you build along the way!

Community can look like so many different things! Trading seeds with a neighbor for some sourdough starter, sharing an extra harvest (fresh or canned), getting to know your local farmers, or finding a group of people who get just as excited about gardening as you do.

I’d love to know, what’s been your favorite way to connect with others through growing food? 🌱
