What you will learn:

First, we're going to discuss what it means to raise food "organically". Again, no complicated or time-consuming systems here: You'll learn the steps to planning a farm that produces healthy food that tastes great and is as fresh as it can possibly be, with no nuisance to the neighbors. 

Second, we’ll create a farm that is as self-sustaining as possible, and that produces MORE than we put into it. 

Finally, we'll learn what poultry and goats need to be happy and healthy, and how to enhance their environment. You see, many of the usual ways that we raise animals in the city have turned out to be wrong.

Keeping animals segregated from each other? Hauling prepared feeds from the pet store or farm supply store?  Throwing yard and animal waste in the dumpster?  Supplying food and housing without considering the animals’ other needs or possible contributions?  No chickens or bugs allowed in the garden? These conventional methods may all be WRONG.

There's actually a much easier, cheaper, more efficient way to grow and raise food that results in bigger and better harvests every year! I'm going to teach you exactly how to do this so you'll have fresh food on the table every night and more cash in your pocket.

01

Designing a Productive System with Animals:

Before bringing animals home to the farm, it is important to think through the ecological design of your system to ensure that it will be productive, sustainable, and regenerative.  In class 1, we will find out how to analyze and design urban farms that are increasingly abundant over time, saving you time and money, yielding healthy food, and benefiting the environment.

02

Chickens & Other Poultry:

Imagine collecting your own fresh eggs daily and having feathered helpers in your garden. In class 2, we will discover how poultry fits into a good ecological design and their many functions on an urban farm.  We will also learn about their basic needs and ways to make them profitable financially and ecologically. By the end of this class, you’ll feel more empowered to design your farm, plus you’ll have the inside scoop on raising poultry, from chickens to ducks and turkeys and quail.

03

Goats & Sheep:

By Class 3, you’ll understand what goats and sheep need to thrive, and how incredibly beneficial they can be to the health of your farm and your physical well-being. There’s nothing sweeter than cold, fresh milk produced at home!

04

Value Added - Reducing Costs & Monetizing Your Farm:

By the end of Class 4, you will have more knowledge than many conventional farmers using outmoded techniques.  And you will begin to see how the products of an organic farm can add up to much more value than the amount of time, effort and money that you put into it.

Once you complete this course, you’ll have the tools and motivation you need to raise your own food, and your farm may even be up and running! You might be on the cusp of collecting your first eggs or enjoying sweet, raw milk.  And you will be on your way to producing more delicious proteins than you ever thought possible!
