Our Roots

This is my introduction to our beginning foray into urban farming. We didn't always consider ourselves "farmers" per se. At first we were just a family trying to reap the benefits of our yard work in order to grow food, raise animals, be creative, and enjoy each other's company in the process.

By default, we created an urban farm so we can have fresh food right outside our back door. We do it for our children so they can have a better understanding of where food comes from and how to respect animals. We do it to share with others who may be unable to have the same resources as we do or lack of desire to garden.

We have been inspired by other urban farmers and homesteaders and like anything else, if we borrowed their ideas and techniques, we thought that we can maximize our property's potential to yield an abundance of fresh food.
