66: City Chicken, Country Chicken (Say that three times fast)

I miss my chickens who used to lay green eggs - yes, beautiful sea foam green eggs.  I gave them to my cousin who had a bigger flock with roosters, since I could only have hens. So today when I visited her, she sent fresh eggs hone with me, and I decided today's Donations by the Dozen should involve farming. I found the Fresh Future Farm who "revitalizes unused city assets to grow chemical free food and create job opportunities that will transform the current food desert into a more self-reliant and robust community." (http://freshfuturefarm.org)
You'll find a great many cities deciding the fate of small coops these days, and I can totally support wanting to grow your own food or have your own fresh eggs. Fresh Future Farm uses vacant city land and unused city assets to grow food, educate, create job opportunities and reduce economic disparity. Almost a year ago, they were able to open a store , and they even "offer free rides home to customers who live within two miles and spend $50 or more in the store." (http://freshfuturefarm.org/the-store/) IF you live in the North Charleston, SC area, you may also be interested in Fresh Future Farm's 8th annual Hope on Goat event http://freshfuturefarm.org/hope-on-goat/.
