My New Favorite Magazine


Urban Farm® Magazine
New from the editors of Hobby Farms and Hobby Farm Home!
It doesn’t take a farm to have the heart of a farmer. Now, due to a burgeoning sustainable-living movement, you don’t have to own acreage to fulfill your dream of raising your own food. The newUrban Farm® magazine, from the editors of Hobby Farms, will walk you down the path to self sustainability.
« We're following urban farming in the news »

Urban Farm® magazine’s mission is to promote the benefits of self sustainability and to provide the tools with which to do it on any size property. Urban Farm® reaches out to those in the city and suburbs, those who are inspired by the local food movement and who want to start raising chickens and growing food for themselves, supporting local agriculture and living more sustainably.
Urban farms are popping up all over America. However, things are different on an urban farm, versus a rural hobby farm. With less space to work with, projects must be scaled down, efficiency becomes crucial, and one must be resourceful to use every inch of space and recycle every unused object into something useful.
Urban Farm® is informational and inspirational, filled with how-to projects, profiles of urban farmers across America, “green” and innovative products, and of course, recipes for preparing your homegrown vegetables, eggs and other farm bounty.

Today is the first time I ever heard of this magazine. I will have to check it out. I no longer know WHAT to call myself.

For 18 years I lived on this homestead and sold it in 2005...

I drifted around a few years and now am in a senior/disabled apartment. Got permission to have a garden here :-) Last year was my first year here...
