DIY Holiday Cheer
I love Christmas and I have as long as I can remember. It’s not the presents, which are probably actually my least favorite part, but everything else.
Underground Holiday Gift Party!
The holidays are in full swing and everyone is searching for the perfect gift. FARMcurious would love to help you select something that will bring out the urban homesteader from the most serious 9 to 5′er.
Homemade Foodie Gifts for the Holidays
On December 9th at 6pm, three food-loving DIYers will descend on a group of 25 at Omnivore Books in Noe Valley and share their diverse knowledge.
DIY Holiday Gifts
What kind of urban homesteader would I be if I wasn’t making at least of few of my own holiday gifts? In my family it’s always been a tradition for the women to give gifts they made themselves with ultimate care and from the heart.

I’ve been hearing and reading a lot lately about this idea of urban farming and whether it’s fair to call what people in cities are progressively doing to grow and raise their own food ‘farming’.
What happens when you preserve 100 lbs of tomatoes?!
Have you ever wondered what 100 lbs of processed tomatoes looks like? It’s a big number, fake-sounding almost, like a gross exaggeration – the canner’s equivalent to a fisherman ‘catching the big one’.
How to ‘treat’ a chicken
Last Saturday I taught a workshop at the SF Underground Market on keeping urban chickens. There’s nothing like teaching to make you take note of all you know…and all you don’t know.
Kansas City Eatin’
After Eat Real Fest weekend, I was in dire need of a vacation. A full time job, a start-up company, a huge festival, a working urban farm and harvest season had really started to pile up on me.
Something for everyone
Eat Real Fest was a blast – again! Three days later, everything we own is covered in dust and every inch of my body aches but, alas, we survived the weekend!
Eat Real Fest is this weekend (and we have a surprise for you)!
We sure have been busy here lately on the farm! Not only is it harvest time for a lot of our veggies, it’s also time to plant cole crops, beets and carrots.
