Why I'm an Urban Farmer

Why are we urban farmers?

"Because there’s nothing more fulfilling than seeing an empty, trash-strewn lot transform into a lush jungle of produce, a wildlife habitat and a community area from the simple act of planting seeds." 

—Aliza Sollins, Baltimore, Md. 












"Because I want my children to understand that eggs come from chickens, and our food comes from the land, and it takes hard work and rain, sunshine and love to make it happen."
 
—Danielle Swap, Kissimmee, Fla.

 






 



"Because organic goat milk is $16 per gallon. With the amount we go through, we could buy a goat a month." 

—Justin, Tracey,  Giselle and Saer Tiret, Portland, Ore.

We've been raising and growing our own food for a few years now because i need to know that the meat that graces our table lived and died humanly-and our veggies and herbs are not laden with chemicals that are harming to us and Mother Earth-Self suficency is so rewarding!

Terrific! Please start subscriptions. Postage for each iussue is costing more than the magazine.

Love the content, format, and the much overdue message. Photography is beutiful

I'm an urban farmer because I believe that we should all be more self sufficient. We can't afford to buy land right now, but we can "bloom where we are planted". We have chickens, an organic garden, have started a small orchard, can and freeze our harvest, make our own bread, cook from scratch and recycle and reuse all that we can. I wouldn't trade it for anything. It's a very fulfilling life!!
