We are Urban Farmers!


Last summer, Kirsten began the efforts to bring fresh, organic eggs into our kitchen by way of our backyard. I won't delineate the whole process in this blog, but I highly suggest you take a look at the blog that Kirsten created for the chicken adventure: www.bauerkirsten.blogspot.com

The eggs are delicious; taking care of the hens is a fun, educational, family effort everyday. We have 6 hens now - Mrs. Claus, Ju-Ju, Big Bertha, Millie and Ellie (who I can never tell apart), and Martha, our newest arrival.

Who would have thought that I would ever have livestock of any sort in my life, much less hens that I enjoy handling and helping to care for?!?
