The rest of the title: The Education of an Urban Farmer. A husband & wife move from Seattle to Oakland, CA into a rougher part of town. The rent a part of the duplex with an empty lot next to it and she starts a garden and bees and expands to chickens, geese & turkeys. The adds rabbits--for food not pets and then later adds 2 pigs--again for food. Good read about the people and area as well as what she grows and what she learns about her urban farm. Really enjoyed hearing about when she observed a local chef on processing a pig and then he assisted her on one of the pigs she grew.
There is 1 WL for this book in PBS but not sure if mailing this one or keeping or exchanging with friends yet. Will have to see.
