• Apr. 25, 2007 - Great link for urban homesteading

http://pathtofreedom.com/about/urbanhomestead.shtml And other links I just found: http://www.permacultureproject.com/index.html http://www.midwestpermaculture.com/MidwestPermacultureCourses.php My husband is building a chicken coop this week that we will keep in my mother-in-law's backyard across the street. Our neighbor next to our acreage north of here, offered us a Great Pyrenees/Anatolian sheepdog puppy. We plan to raise it with the chickens and have it guard them as well as my mother-in-law's backyard. And a Matushka I know has offered to give us two of her chickens (we will need to buy three more to reach our limit for my mil's yard). When we are done with that coop, I hope we can build a second one for our own backyard. And we have started to plant pomegranate trees on our acreage. My husband wants to plant one or two here too. Though our progress is slower than I hoped, we are on our way developing both an urban and rural homestead. I visited St. Paisius Monastery in Safford, AZ at the beginning of Great Lent and it was wonderful. Besides the beautiful services and peaceful environment, they have many pomegranate trees which they use to make jelly, as well as goats and chickens. I will be taking my 12 year old there next week. She is interested in attending their homeschooling program. It would be quite an opportunity for her if it does work out that she can go there for school. It would be wonderful for her spiritually, academically, and practically too.
