Our journey to producing more and consuming less on 1/8 acre in the middle of the city. Urban farming, through keeping backyard chickens and a top bar hive of honey bees, practicing organic vegetable gardening, taking care of several fruit trees, maintaining a compost pile, canning and preserving our harvests and trying our best to do it all ourselves using reclaimed materials where possible.

Amber Magic
It will be a while before our bees create enough honey for us to share in their magic, so the pic below is not our honey or our comb from our new bees. This honey was given to us by a co-worker and fellow bee keeper in exchange for lending her one of our bee veils so she could inspect her hives with a friend.
This is spring honey (duh), so it's pretty mellow, but oh man, is it good!!! There really is nothing like super fresh honey! It really is like magic wrapped in an amber package! And, yes, I really am a big nerd ;-)
