I am an old hippy chick writer. I live in the city but have turned my backyard into a farm where I grow organic food and dance amongst the chickens. I began my farming career several years ago after reading yet another headline telling me that the American diet of processed, sugar laden, chemically-enhanced, genetically-modified food we are eating is making us sick. I went in search of a healthier diet and found a new way of life. As for the chickens, I brought them home for the eggs. Who knew I would fall in love with them?
I’ve spent a lifetime as a city gal so reinventing myself as a farmer has been a challenge. I am a work in progress and I’ve come here to connect with other chicken people, learn from them and exchange stories.
