Farm City arc

Just finished Farm City it will be out in June. It's the story of an urban farm in Oakland California and it's a bio. Full review to follow but just a couple of thoughts. First I will never be able to raise animals for food and second in the 70s there was a huge back to the land kick. The BBC even made a show about it called 'The Good Life' this book reminded me how much that show inspired my Dad. He bought a freezer and for 3 or 4 years he grew veggies in our back garden of course that was when we had a back garden! He never tried bee-keeping though - kind of glad about that.
