For over 32 years, Greg Peterson created one of Phoenix’s first environmental showcase homes for urban farming. The 1/4-acre yard featured a primarily edible landscape with over 80 fruit trees, rainwater and greywater harvesting, solar applications, and extensive use of reclaimed and recycled building materials.
In 2003, UrbanFarm.org was created as an online portal for urban farming education. Then in 2015, Greg created the UrbanFarmPodcast.com that in just 6 years has released over 750 episodes, amassing over 4 million listens to date.
