Inspired by Barbara Kingsolver, my husband and I decided to start a suburban backyard farm and garden. We are growing tired of being dependent on the unseen and unknown. As the year goes on, we hope to cut down on our waste and become a more Eco-friendly family. We have two small children and hope to share with them the positive benefits of slowing down and connecting with one of our most primitive needs, food. So, let the adventure begin.
