QuoteSearle’s backyard farm
may sound rather
pastoral; in fact, it’s a
guerrilla operation.

QuoteShe plans
to ask the city to change its zoning code to
allow residents to keep two female goats and
up to four hens in residential neighborhoods,
with a permit.

QuoteSearle hopes the city will ultimately
develop an Urban Food Zoning Code that
specifically addresses farmers markets,
community gardens and backyard farmers.

Amanda is really helping change the way we think about the journey our food takes on the way to our plates. 

Do you know where your egg has been?

While I am not a real fan of chicken -- or birds in general, for that matter (its a long story) -- I think this is awesome! I knpw of several other chicken coops in the neighborhood and look forward to getting some fresh eggs.

We have a great neighborhood! What other 'hood in this city has such diverse and interesting people? What other neighborhood has such a broad expanse of grassroots groups and activities (Sustainable Springfield, Mommies Group, Preservation SOS, Springfield Brew Crew, First Friday, Woman's Club, Relay for Life...)? Where else in this city is there such a sense of community? No where!

I <3 Springfield!
