GA URBAN HOMESTEADING WORKSHOP REVIEW
Summertime garden IN SEASON By Deborah Geering For the Journal-Constitution Thursday, April 02, 2009 When I walked into the Urban Homesteading workshop at the Georgia Organics annual conference a couple of weeks ago, I was expecting a speaker who was —- well —- a little nutty. After all, what kind of person does it take [...]
ANIMAL ANTICS
Jordanne gives Fairlight a tomato and what happens next…. we’ll just let the pictures tell the story Every morning the goats love to visit the kitchen to see what’s all going on and perhaps get some tasty hand outs. They’ve figured out where all the tasty treats are stored. The urban homestead kitchen is a [...]
BYOB
Hey Fairlight going shopping? Or are you just showing off how hip you are that you bring your own bag. “What me shopping?” “Why would I need to go shopping? I got people here to do everything for me.” “What I really want is another bag with those tasty dried sycamore leaves” Yum, another bag [...]
PEAK OIL
We love this used oil delivery set up! The other day one of our clients dropped off 21 of these containers full of used cooking oil. That’s A LOT of GREASE! They pulled up and left the oil on our driveway. Justin took a photo and said “Look – Peak Oil.” Very funny, very funny. [...]
LIVING MULCH
On the journal we write often how much we use mulch here on the urban farm to combat weeds, retain moisture and build soil. Here’s an example of ‘living mulch’ in action – do not disturb.

ME WANT PAPER
Farmer D makes sure Blackberry doesn’t eat the harvest stats/chart Here on the urban homestead we have our own version of Cookie Monster in a form of two adorable but somewhat stubborn goats. This morning Farmer D was sitting in the garden tallying up the week’s harvest when Blackberry moseys on over and wants to [...]
FLASHBACK FRIDAY
Starting this Friday we are going to start a series here on the journal with anecdotes of our simple lifestyle. It’s a humorous look at how different our family was and how we kids grew up in a very practical, down to earth household and life with a hippie father. Jordanne’s first to share in, [...]
PASADENA FOOTHILL BILLIES
I had a different title for this post, but changed it after describing the last photo in the sequence. I couldn’t help but start humming a retro TV tune to myself. You’ve been warned! Urban farmer, Justin, on top the simple, cinder block compost pile at the back end of the property With pitchfork in [...]
