The reason behind this choice of crop was based on a Native American theory called The Three Sisters. Basically, these were 3 crops that natives often planted together because they all helped each o...

It happened again. It being chicken math. For those of you who don't know about chicken math, it is a very real thing. Basically the idea is that no matter what ever size flock you intend to have there will always be more. Case in point, when we first jumped into the chicken life we started with 5 c...

Welcome to the Urban Valley Homestead. Our goal is to be a leading online community in urban farming. From gardening, and preserving to keeping backyard chickens. We're just in our infancy stage so I hope you'll stick around and watch us grow as we develop our website and YouTube channel.

Our mission is to be able to help like minded people come together and share their ideas and questions about bringing the farm back to the town. We don't need to be a full fledged farm or have many acres to help our selves be more self sufficient. Even a few vegetables in pots on a balcony will start to offset your grocery bill!
