This is not your average farm! Backyard Urban Garden (B.U.G) Farms is an urban farm following the innovative and practical SPIN farming model that utilizes multiple plots of land and follows food and space maximizing farming techniques which include intensive relay cropping, and standard sized beds. B.U.G. Farms is located on multiple backyard plots of land centered around our residence at Wasatch Commons, a wonderful Cohousing Community in the Salt Lake Valley. We aim to provide our Salt Lake Area CSA members and restaurants with chemical free, sustainably grown food.
