Animals: - Chickens (2 mature laying hens/Rhode Island Reds/free range; I have fenced off an area for the chickens around my fruit trees; that way they can clean up the fallen fruit and keep the bug population down while keeping out of my smaller produce...)
- Bees, Dairy Goat (plan for near future)
Why I'm Getting Dirty: I am very interested in healthy living and environmental sustainability; I am also very concerned with aesthetics, so my plan is to construct my urban farm in both a visually appealing and efficiently functional manner; Hopefully, I will be able to prove that you can have your aesthetics and eat it too; I will include more photos as the plan progresses...
