Introduction to my urban farm

It is my dream to someday have a small farm. For now I raise a few laying hens and increasingly turn my city yard into garden plots for vegetables. I have a wife (Joan), two dogs, a goldfish, five chickens, a small collection of wine and a day job to help support us all. The chickens and gardens are in an extended yard area that we share with our best friends and neighbors and their four dogs. Perhaps you can see why I might want more space.
