Farm City by Novella Carpenter

Urban and rural collide in this wry, inspiring memoir of a woman who turned a vacant lot in downtown Oakland into a thriving farm.

Learning the struggles and successes of this urban farmer only made me wonder: “Why are not more people doing this? Why am I not doing this already?”

I liked the idea of this story, and much of the concepts of an urban farm. As a homesteader, I wish more urban/suburban people could realize they could have some of these things.
But, I also know there are laws and regulations that keep many people from the ability to have this in more populated areas.
I liked that the author always had a relationship with her animals. I personally do not eat meat, but I feel that it is important to know your food and where it came from.
This would be a great book to read for anyone (urban to rural) to learn about homesteading. I'm going to recommend to many.
