The Urban Homestead - Get Fresh with Sara Snow

DISCOVERY HEALTH, April 5, 2007

Natural living expert, Sara Snow, highlights a family that's sowing a revolution right in their own back(front)yard. She explains how maintaining a perfect lawn is harmful to the environment and that there's an alternative to a typical "vainity" yard.

In this segment she'll show how the Dervaes family is making their yard both beautiful and productive at their L.A. urban lot. These self taught gardeners and urban eco-pioneers have cultivated an edible estate and sustainable urban homestead.

My family used to raise Nubian goats, rabbits, chickens, and turkeys but everytime we'd try to garden it'd flop! Do you have any advice on how to grow organically? I'm currently expecting and when my husband gets back from his deployment we're going to buy a home and I want to teach my child the art of homesteading.

Are those pygmy goats? Have you considered lamas? They don't eat much, their wool is nicer, you can still get milk, and they make good pack animals. Whether out hiking, or hauling produce to a local market. Lastly, how much of the chicken's/ goats food do you produce?

this is awesome! I want to start my own organic garden one day! :) Being a vegetarian myself, I believe it would be very useful!

[MauriceFlower]

Yes, indeed. I agree! :-)
