I read the book Farm City about a year ago, and LOVED it. A great story about a woman living in Oakland, CA. Her apartment has an abandoned lot next to it, which she adopts and transforms into a true urban farm. Novella Carpenter is her name, and her writing is hilarious and smart, and also easy to read. Aaron just finished reading it and also really enjoyed it.
I was reading her blog last night and saw that she will be in Portland speaking AND there will be demos and talks on all sorts of cool stuff - like bread making, raising meat chickens, making cheese and composting. We are so there! We picked up our tickets today from Grand Central Bakery, all of the baked goods we got there were delicious too!
Here is a link to all the goings on:
