    From the page: "The interest in urban homesteading goes beyond backyard enthusiasts. The Denver Botanic Gardens offers classes in different aspects of urban homesteading. At least two urban-farm outfits have arisen within the city of Denver. One Front Range designer is planning new subdivisions zoned for livestock and agriculture. Ellen Rosenthal, a Denver native, recently started the Living Earth Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to some of the foundations of urban homesteading. "

    Really interesting piece on urban homesteading.

    From the page: People in cities and towns across the Front Range, and the nation, are embracing aspects of a lifestyle familiar to people who raise livestock and harvest crops in rural America. But the urban homesteaders are tending their goats, pruning their Nanking cherry shrubs, and growing their alfalfa on one-eighth- acre standard city lots, using chain-link fences for grape trellises and replacing front yards of sod with tomato plants. I think it's amazing to see the transition from people caring nothing about growing food (or how their food is grown) to people, like this, taking what little space they have and producing plenty. I do believe it's a new age of farmers, homesteaders, conscious caretakers of the Earth. While what we are doing in Small Town, Tennessee isn't quite as drastic, we are a work in progress. We are slowly transforming our own front yard into a garden paradise, despite what the neighbors may or may not think about it. You can check out what we've done so far by following this link. I, for one, look forward to an explosion of like minded people doing the same thing in the next few years. I can't wait to see it and be part of it.
