Wow! Thanks for all of the welcoming! 
I am so delighted that everyone asks about my farm. We call it the tiniest farm on the plantet, because it tryly is tiny. With a complete lack of land, my partner and I grow 10 different varieties of sprouts in our kitchen. Our fields are plastic trays, our crops tiny sprouts, and we are like giant farmers tending to miniature crops. The only "fox" we have to worry about is our youngest cat, who loves sprouts, and will snatch one if given the chance--even a super spicy radish sprout! This is our second year growing sprouts for our local farmer's market, and we love it. I decided upon sprouts after reading Joel Salatin's "You Can Farm." In it he challenges all wannabe farmers to start farming immediately! He says that the quickest turn around is radishes, and the next is chicken. Well, I knew sprouts had an even shorter turn around time since I used to grow them for friends many years back when I was in high school. Our "farm" is very successful, and we hope that one day Hungry Fox Gardens will be a real live farm. |
