We raise a variety of birds that we hatch from eggs: Chicken, Quail, Turkeys and Ducks. They help to enrich our garden beds with their organic material. We are planning to experiment with subsistence farming this year. We will try to raise or make 90% of the food our family of 4 consumes on our small-scale urban farm. We are growing a large variety of produce on our 1/3 acre- tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, kale, chard, mustard greens, broccoli rabe, eggplant, peas, kohlrabi, cabbage, cucumbers, beans, carrots, herbs, pumpkins, zucchini, potatoes, onions, garlic, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches, pears, apples, apricots, nectarines! Wow, I never really thought about how much we grow!
We are trying to be the change we want to see in the world!
We just opened our Etsy store you can check it out at: FarmGirlFeathers
