Ok, I admit it, in addition to being crazy about all things urban farming I also love pretty much anything to do with medieval times so when my husband suggested we visit Camlann Medieval Village I was in geek heaven. Dashing from the woven willow fence to the basket making station to the slice of bread […]

Do you have something you’d like to share with other urban farmers; a great chicken story, a way to make really good kale chips or maybe a tip to help grow melons in our cool climate? Writing for Urban Farm Hub can be a great way to hone your writing skills and connect with people […]

This month’s Backyard Barter fair was great! The event was held in SoDo and close to our house so my daughter came with me; each month a different area of the city is chosen. People take an hour to set up and see what is available to trade then an hour to do the exchanges. […]

It’s no secret that I really, really like yarn so on a visit this past weekend to Whidbey Island I had to visit the incredible Paradise Found Fiber Farm.
