Farm City – Chicken Droppings and the Education of an Urban Farmer

Just finished reading Farm City by Novella Carpernter and loved it. The story itself was an intimate retelling of life on the farm. The urban farm. The city-dweller’s forty by sixty chain link fence crop container. A realistic acknowledgement of the work, idiosyncrasies and lunacy of trying to eat off the land amidst the culture of the city.I loved this memoir if it could be called such a work.

I think the underlying message is that you should know where your food comes from….And, perhaps the best way to know where it comes from, is to raise it yourself, in whatever scale is suitable for you.

Check it out at Amazon.

Or Audible (the way I read it…)

Even after reading, I’m still resolved to get some chickens on my own little urban plot of land here in the next year.
