I think that it is even more challenging to be homesteading in the city than in the country. More people to convince that it's the thing to do! Keep us posted!

Congratulations! I definitely agree that it's so important to teach our kids to be self-sufficient and give them a leg up that'll help them leave less of a footprint on the Earth.

Love your name! My son recently wrote in his journal that "he wished we coud eat like normal people instead of hippies." I asked him how hippies eat and he said "healthy." So I guess we are Hippie parents too!
Happy Gardening and Happy Hippie Parenting!

Well its nice to find this site, and hope that I can provide help as well as get some help and knowledge of homesteading, even if it has to be in the city limits.
