While we were at Rural King Supply yesterday we picked up a new magazine — Urban Farm — from the editors of Hobby Farms magazine.
It was the last issue on the rack. And while I can’t exactly tell how often it will be published, I’m pretty impressed with the premier issue.
It’s filled to the brim with how-to articles, everything from starting a raised veggie garden and small-scale backyard composting to suburban beekeeping and urban chicken farming.
At first glance, I wasn’t sure if I was learning anything new. But as I got deeper into the magazine, I found myself being inspired by stories about urban farm success stories. I also was picking up plenty of tips just in time for me to plan next year’s backyard garden.
I’m sure you’ll see the magazine referenced here more than a few times.
