Say Hello to the Next Organic Urban Farmer in Santurce

I have a big and beautiful dream of becoming an organic urban farmer.  I have been thinking about this for a long time. It is a difficult goal and will take me a long time to accomplish.  First, I am a very busy person.  I have three children, a husband, a dog, a cat, and a two homeless people that I feed everyday.  I also work as a full time professor, and as a teaching consultant.  I also write and edit, and help people develop health, education and social programs. Secondly, I do not know much about growing food in the tropics.  I grew vegeatbles in New Jersey, but it is very different the tropics.  You need to grow different crops, and know when to grow them.  Third, I do not have much money right now to buy seeds, plants, soil, fertilizer, and other equipment.

Even though I cannot accomplish this goal right away, I stay focused on it in many ways.  First, I read as much as I can organic farming in the tropics.  I go to websites that talks about ways to grow specific plants and methods to use.  I talk to others to identify people who are growing organically in Puerto Rico.  I also visit organic markets and talk to growers to learn more about what works.  One day when I have the time and money I plan on taking a course on organic farming or making an organic huerto casero.
