Welcome, dear reader, to this blog, this place in cyberspace to share exploits, ideas and hopes and dreams of life on an urban farm. And to start this blog off.....a confession!....I am not an urban farmer. At least, not yet! In fact, except for landscaping and pouring kibble in a bowl, I have little experience with gardening or caring for animals. What I do have, however, is a love of Nature, a burning desire to break free from the bondage of consumerism and a vacant city lot with full southern exposure! Coupled with a can-do attitude, a voracious appetite for knowledge, and a wonderful partner, I am confident about our success. The goal is to turn an old barn and horse pasture into a passive solar home and thriving, healthy, food-based ecosystem. No problem....er...right...?
As spring approaches, we will be rolling up our sleeves and building fences, digging planting beds, and sowing our seeds with tender love and care. And along with growing food, we want to grow as people and serve our community. So, please visit us often to read about our urban farming adventure and feel free to comment and share your thoughts, inspire us with your stories, or offer friendly advice. May warm thoughts about sunny summer days in the garden sustain us all through the rest of winter!
