Growing Our Own
Food
--gardens, orchards, berry patches, chicken coops--
1st
Ever West Contra Costa County
City Homestead
Tour
Saturday,
October 10th 2009
noon to 3
More and more
people are growing more and more of their own food right at home: vegetables, fruit, berries, chickens,
eggs, and honey.
See what your
neighbors are doing and get inspired!
You don’t need a farm to have a homestead.
You can view food gardens at all stages of development from newly established to mature, and in all sizes from tiny front yards to large backyards. You can see chickens, ducks, rabbits, goats, and bees living happily in urban (or semi-urban) backyards, and food plants tucked amongst natives or traditional cottage flower gardens.
Note: Each person should be registered separately under her/his own name. This will save you time and trouble when signing in at the gardens.
Where
Upon registration, you will receive a map with locations in western Contra Costa County.
