    Life begins…

    The last couple of months have been a whirlwind around here. Self imposed chaos, yes.  But chaos none-the-less. In August, we were sitting comfortably on the couch in the Living Room of our Urban Farm preparing for…well, not a whole lot.  The garden was winding down, the chickens were happy, the apple trees were heavy with this year’s abundance and…
