Novella Carpenter started small, with some plants in an empty lot next to her house in Oakland. A couple of years later, she was tending to a full-blown farm, with goats, turkeys, ducks, pigs, and a robust garden. This video tackles questions of neighborliness (which is more offensive: police sirens or roosters crowing?), environmental poisons (raised beds are key), and the all-important slaughter question. The answer: Yes, she does (and yes, there is some bloody footage).

I clicked the 'like' button but I would have rather clicked the 'love' button. I love this woman, she is so modest! So practical and so sharing. A true human being in this crazy world.

I love this lady! And anyone who has a problem with the killing aspect... her animals are raised and treated one billion times more humanely than any industrialized/ factory farm. Don't believe me? Watch the documentary... "Earthlings".
