Curtis Stone, one of Kelowna’s original urban farmers, is writing a book on his endeavour.

Earning his living off five lots in the downtown core, he harvests everything from spinach to tomatoes to sell at the Kelowna Farmer and Crafters’ Market and enjoys a brief travel sojourn lecturing on his efforts each winter.
