Book-signing & Talk with Patricia Foreman

Got Chickens? A desire for sustainable, clean, wholesome food, superior soil quality, and a closer connection to where our food comes from, has led more and more suburban and city dwellers to keep laying hens in their backyards and gardens. Across America municipalities are allowing, and even encouraging, residents to keep laying hens within city limits.

Join Patricia Foreman, author of “City Chicks” Keeping Micro-flocks of Chickens as Garden Helpers, Compost Makers, Bio-recyclers and Local Food Suppliers, for a talk and book-signing as she shares her humor, passion, and extensive knowledge about raising chickens in the cities and suburbs of America.

It all began, May 10, 2008, when I went to Kris and Joe's Locavore meeting. It's about eating locally grown and produced food for one year. Here are the rules:

  • Everything you eat must come from within a 100 mile radius (as the crow flies)
  • You can have three exceptions, and your exceptions can change.
  • You can have two meals per month where you can eat whatever you want.
  • The experiment starts January 1st, 2009 and goes for one year.

That's it. As long as it's from this area, you can eat it!
