About the Author
As a landscape designer for 10 years, I found myself spending too much time behind a computer screen and yearning to get my hands back into the soil. It was time for a change. I decided to create a resource for folks who wanted to produce some of their own food by raising chickens, growing vegetables, and planting home orchards. The Urban Farm Store was born on Super Bowl Sunday (Feb 1) 2009.
Sharing my love of gardening and raising small animals with my customers and friends has been a dream come true. In my books I share the accumulated wisdom of these thousands of interactions.
