Welcome to Garden Fuss.

I'm Quantina, a passionate urban farmer and homesteading enthusiast based in Minneapolis. My mission is to grow food sustainably, using the most healthful and organic methods possible, and to share this bounty with my community. One of the ways I support the local urban agriculture movement is by offering backyard chicken keeping classes that fulfill the fowl permit requirements for the city of Minneapolis. I invite you to visit often for skill-sharing opportunities, personal tips on living more sustainably, and insights on reducing waste and living consciously. ---

Dig through the archives for topics that include: Food preparation and preservation, DIY projects, and past AG related activities and events, and more.
