"The Cold Climate Food Forest course I took with Urban Farm School was amazingly comprehensive! Learning from nature's design, the importance of diversity in the soil, how to create "guilds" (companion planting on steroids!) and so much more- Through Carmen's years of experience and her practical approach, I feel very well prepared to start my own cold-climate food forest, and have gained a wealth of information that will serve me
for many years to come. Highly recommended!"

"Carmen is an exceptional instructor and educator with a passion towards systems ecology and regenerative agriculture. She teaches ecosystem sustainability and resiliency through the application of permaculture principles . The knowledge she has in regards to vegetation succession, soil regeneration and species diversity is shared from a theoretical perspective and then applied to living systems where it transforms landscapes into productive and healthy ecosystems. The diversity of species she introduces into these ecosystems play fundamental roles in the productivity and resiliency of the landscape. Carmen is an inspiration to everyone wanting to create resilient, productive and sustainable ecosystems."

"I've had the pleasure of learning from Carmen as a part of the Permaculture Design program as well as through other Urban Farm School courses. The depth, breadth & beauty of her content is matched by her passion in sharing that knowledge. Anyone looking to expand their proficiency in growing food locally and attaining high-yields in a resilient way would benefit from Carmen's mastery. I am so grateful to have learned so much from her in a short period of time. I'm looking forward to participating in future workshops and courses with Carmen."

"I've spent many, many hours reading, watching videos, and listening to podcasts on gardening and permaculture; one class with Urban Farm School was far more informative and comprehensive. Carmen brings a wealth of education and experience as well as a passion for teaching ... One class could change the way you think about the world around you."
"One of the most meaningful and powerful actions we can take is to secure even a small measure of responsibility for ourselves, our local environment, and our own food supply."
