"EAT MY YARD!"

We learned about permaculture from Farmer Greg while sampling organic fruits, veggies, and herbs from his yard, otherwise known as the Urban Farm. YUM! Greg showed us his new outdoor kitchen and plans for an outdoor shower, both designed to facilitate the flow of gray water into the gardens. Animals are a vital part of growing food at the Urban Farm also. Earthworms create rich compost while reducing the amount of waste that would otherwise go to the landfill. Chickens provide eggs as well as fertilizer for the gardens. Our group ordered three fruit trees to plant in January at Save the Family, Child Crisis Center, and Paz de Cristo.
