NEVER FARMED? NEITHER HAD I
I was a classic struggling musician.
I spent my summers as an arborist, saving my money in the summers to finance my music. “career” The other nine months are not included in the above.
My community was not blessed with fame, fortune, or a dream lifestyle. I made no meaningful contributions to it. There was only a crummy van, decent venues, and a few close friends. I had plenty of fun, but I certainly wasn’t building a future towards anything meaningful. The problem was that I was eager to build my future.
The challenge was, I just didn’t know what to do, to find meaning in my life.
FIND INSPIRATION
I knew I had to change my course and took the summer off to find inspiration.
I decided to bike down the west coast of Canada as well as the US.
I met amazing people. I saw amazing sights. I was also the fittest I’d been since high school. I was cycling 50 miles a day. It felt great.
I stopped at many organic farms along the way. I was inspired by all of the farmers who shared my values for a better world, and were actually making a living based on those very values.
When I arrived in San Diego I decided to start an organization. Urban Farm in my hometown Kelowna (British Columbia), Canada
AFRAID TO START
When I returned home, it was autumn, and it was time for me to make my urban farming dream a reality.
I knew I wanted a farm and was overwhelmed by the amount of work involved.
I hadn’t even tried to grow a single vegetable.
I’ll repeat that…
I had never grown vegetables before. None. And, in truth, he never sold anything. Nor would she.
Was I overwhelmed?
Yup.
Afraid?
For sure.
Fear of failure?
You bet.
And worst of all, I just didn’t know where to start.
Failed to Start and Finish
Fall turned into winter and I read every book and attended every workshop, watched every YouTube video, and then I was back in fall. Urban Farming. I did my best to learn as much as I could.
I bought my first piece land when spring came and began working. I worked even more.
I invested the $11,000 I saved from tree planting work.
I bought seeds, a rototiller and a few other tools. I was soon growing my own produce.
I was so happy to hold a tomato I grew in my hand.
Before long, I was selling at the local farmer’s market, to the people in my community, and a few restaurants in town.
It felt great. It was the first time I felt like I had a purpose.
The initial excitement soon subsided and the overwhelming feeling returned.
I was working 80-hour weeks and there was still much to do.
There just wasn’t enough time in the day to get everything done.
I hit a wall as soon as the heat of summer hit. Hard. I was exhausted. Multiple times, I was so exhausted from overwork that I had to stop work and throw up.
Something has to change.
The problem? I had drive, but no business savvy. I worked hard but not smart.
I earned $17,476 after that first season. It was a good start to my first season doing something that I had never done before. But then I calculated my hourly wage.
$1.45 an hour.
Ouch.
For a moment, take that in.
I worked every waking hour for the entire season, earning $1.45 an hr.
SEEK GUIDANCE
Winter came, the snow fell and I wanted to leave.
But I didn’t.
Instead, I resolved not to quit.
I knew there had been a way to make it work.
It was time to assess how I was managing. Every effort, every moment and every action should be counted.
It was time for us to go back to the drawing boards, start fresh, and learn from our mistakes.
This is not my experience, but others who have been on this path before me.
It was time for me to invest in my business education. I needed teachers to teach me… I needed a mentor.
THE MENTORS
I sought mentors with relevant experience from which I could learn.
Mentors who have lost money and made mistakes but are now successful.
I was able to observe the way successful farmers approached their businesses after meeting them. Particularly, how they spent their free time.
They did some very strange things. They earned more and worked less.
They taught me to value time more than anything.
Their tactics were applied to me the next season. I adopted their philosophy and changed my approach dramatically.
It worked.
In my second season, $61,540 was my total! It was amazing.
I was now in Year Two and was earning a good salary for my hard work.
Over the next few decades, I perfected my methods so that I can not only make a great income but also work long hours.
Many other farmers were interested in my guidance. They wanted to know how others could achieve the same success as me.
I was the mentor they needed when I started.
They made more, had lower expenses, and worked less.
The messages came flooding in.
Aspiring farmers were telling their stories of success: They were more connected with their families and more successful than ever.
I found a new passion while growing vegetables. I love mentoring new farmers.

5 Reasons to Become an Urban Farmer
1. You can make a great income for yourself
The demand for quality, locally produced food is greater than ever. Restaurants will pay top dollar for your produce. This is the ideal time to get your start and make a good living.
2. It’s a great lifestyle
I’ve never been more excited to get up in the morning and get to work. Every day is different. You get to be your boss and spend your time outside working with the land. Beyond the daily routine, the community that forms around you is something you’ll never understand until it happens to you. It’s such a special thing.
3. You don’t need to own your own land
I turn down offers to farm other people’s land weekly. Once you get started and show people what their yard can look like, you’ll have more land than you know what to do with, and all for the price of a weekly share of veggies. It doesn’t matter what size your yard is, the important thing is to get started and show others how you can do it.
4. As a leader in your community
Soon, people will be looking to you for help in their community and not just with their gardens. Because urban farming seems so unconventional, (it’s not) people will be in awe at what you’ve been able to accomplish and want your help in creating success for themselves.
5. Many other opportunities are available
Start an urban farm and you will be able to show the world what you believe. People will take notice, and soon you’ll be interviewed on the local news, radio, and blogs. You will be surrounded by other entrepreneurs who want to start businesses. You’ll have no shortage of other opportunities to take on, if you want them.
