Urban Ag Backup Plan

So if my canning class falls through because not enough folks register by Sunday, I’m looking at an alternate activity this fall.

On Nov. 8, at the Wellington Avenue United Church of Christ, there’s going to be a class on…hold your breath…backyard chicken management. I could hardly contain myself when I saw the note on the Chicago Locavore blog.

The post reiterates the raising chickens for pets and eggs is legal in Chicago.

And experts from Chicago and from the Ottawa-based Cedar Valley Sustainable Farm will share tips “on how to keep both your chickens and your neighbors happy.”

All I can say is: Awesome.

  1. Ah…and so we reach VFG’s Tipping Point. You are officially ’round the bend now. Chickens? In your suburban back yard? The neighbors will run you out of town!
