BELOW ARE PICTURES OF THE CITY FARM IN VICTORIA BC
About me:
I was born and raised in Niagara Falls ON. I spent my early twenties doing the gypsy farmer thang in Latin America and Canada. The last few years I've been calling Victoria BC home. I pass the days urban farming in the heart Fernwood on a quarter acre market farm. Mad scientist styles all the way, layering coffee, ashes, hops, barley, hay, cardboard and whatever gold I can find before these resources are hauled off to the dump. Permaculture guides my daily meditations and disseminations of uncommon sense.
In the twilight of Victoria you will find me at the Lynda Raino School of Modern Dance training and teeheeing my nights away. And after midnight you will not recognize the velvet ninja as she performs her jedi night culture jamming mindshift tricks. Ya Basta!
.
