Demonstration Farm

Although we always imagined our farm on 10 acres in the country, we took all our experience and knowledge and applied it to what we could afford at the time: 0.18 acres in the heart of the city. Now that I am here, I am convinced “urban farming” is the solution to wide spread sustainability. We work according to the seasons, plant and rest according to the moon, and care for our plants, trees, chickens, and bees. In short, we do all the things farmers do, but we can also walk a block to the nearest bus stop or a few blocks to the groccery store. Opportunities for building community abound in the city as does the chance to share our surplus and knowledge.
