Urban Gateway Livestock: Chickens ‘N’ Bees
The Plant Exchange: 4500 Lincoln Ave, Oakland
http://www.theplantexchange.com/sustainable-urban-gardening-speaker-series/
Chickens and bees are the “gateway livestock” for urban homesteaders. Requiring relatively little space, these hard working critters add a lot of value to a beautiful and functional urban farm or garden site.
Backyard chickens are all the rage! Not only are they a source of fresh, wholesome eggs — a small backyard flock adds beauty and provides fertilizer, pest control, and hours of entertainment. They are the ultimate ‘pets with benefits’! Learn the basics to get started with a flock of your own. Honeybees are responsible for 1 out of 3 bites of the food we eat every day! New to beekeeping or just want to understand more about what’s involved before plunging in? Learn the basics of backyard beekeeping including hive types, tools and safety equipment.
Yolanda Burrell is a mother/wife, entrepreneur and urban farmer. Yolanda is owner and founder of Pollinate Farm & Garden, an award-winning edible plant nursery and urban farm store with a twist: Pollinate provides supplies and know-how for seed-to-table organic farming and gardening, food preservation, artisanal food crafting, small scale livestock raising and beekeeping.
