In this inspiring and practical presentation, Amie shares how farming in the city goes beyond raised beds and backyard chickens. Reimagine how to grow food and raise animals in urban spaces, cultivate the right heart and mindset, and love and serve the people right in front of you. Learn how small, faithful steps—taken today—can transform “someday” dreams into tangible action and thriving community.
