Farmer Michael

Meet special guest Michael Levenston - the original urban farmer - and discover the unique agricultural oasis right in the heart of Kitsilano. Michael tells a tale not just about the city's early environmental and ecological roots, but also informs and entertains with tales of worms, computers, a surprising connection to artist Bill Reid and the latest in human composting.

Guest: City Farmer Michael Levenston

In the book, The Killer’s Within, The Deadly Rise of Drug-Resistant Bacteria,  A battle is taking place on the frontiers of medicine between rapidly evolving bacteria and the doctors struggling to outwit them. The Killers Within tells this horror story that just happens to be true. Michael Levenston, City Farmer executive director. Shoemakers, fashion models, computer geeks, politicians, lawyers, teachers, chefs … all city dwellers … all can grow food at home after work in back yards, community gardens or on flat roofs. For the past 33 years, City Farmer has encouraged urban dwellers to pull up a patch of lawn and plant some vegetables, kitchen herbs and fruit. Our message is the same today as it was in 1978 and will be relevant far into the future.
