Home Tour--Micro Farm Project

The Micro Farm Project is a beautiful place where veggies, fruit, and herbs grow and small livestock animals provide fun and food. A tiny farm on an urban lot, The Micro Farm Project is the Spencer family's ongoing experiment in becoming as self-sufficient as possible, naturally and sustainably. The property sits on less than 1/3 of an acre, and yet it is home to 5 gardens (including a front-yard vegetable garden,) chickens, Coturnix quail, heritage turkeys, dairy goats, a pet rabbit and even some sheep! The Spencers invite you to see how the animals are integrated with the compost and garden systems in a regenerative cycle, and how laundry-to-landscape and condensation water collection are reducing their dependence on city services.  The family will give a guided tour and will be available to answer any questions that you may have about growing food or raising livestock in the city.
