Valley residents who are considering stepping up their gardening game into the realm of small-scale farming are invited to join the University of Arizona’s Cooperative Extension for Urban Ag Hour, presented virtually from 10-11 a.m., June 26.
The Urban Ag Hour is a monthly initiative hosted by the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension’s Urban Agriculture Production, Small-Scale, and Beginning Farmer Program in collaboration with the Natural Resources Conservation Service and Farm Service Agency.
