StartNow Corporation, home of StartNow Gardens located at 1134 Bloomington Ave. in Bremerton announces the formation of the StartNow Urban Farming School, to undertake operation in September, 2009.  The school will teach every aspect of urban farming, from garden bed siting and construction to marketing the harvest, and will include a community outreach program to build a food gardening presence across the city..  Glenn Huff and Jean Schanen, with 25 years of experience in market gardening, will head up the school, and other local farmers will participate in instruction and hands-on learning experiences.
The school will accommodate students living on the farm site, which will include at least three adjoining city properties, as well as commercial space for instruction, office, and community outreach.
We are seeking student applicants for four start-up positions, beginning in September of this year.  These students will receive a tuition waiver in exchange for work developing the site.
