The University of Colorado, Boulder (CU) has invested in giving back to the Earth by developing vertical farming in their William's Village dining hall. Vertical farming is when crops are grown on top of each other. Growing vertically allows for conservation in space and results in a higher crop yield per square foot. Vertical farms are usually grown indoors in controlled environments. This method of growing has an impact on “food miles.” Which in turn reduces the need for the harvesting, cleaning, packaging, and transportation from another farm. Given the CU farm virtually zero food miles and having a positive effect on the environment.

During this Earth Day season in Colorado, we encourage you to start home seed saving your favorite vegetables from your local market. This will result in zero food miles. Meaning you have helped save the environment by eliminating the energy it takes to get package seeds to you from the farm. Today I am going to show you how to harvest tomato seeds from a grocery store tomato. So, you can have that flavorful tomato every year by growing itself.
