Urban Agriculture
What exactly is Agriculture?
Agriculture is the science, art, and business of cultivating soil, producing crops, and raising livestock to provide food, fiber, and other products.
It encompasses farming activities like soil preparation, planting, harvesting, and raising animals for eggs, meat, and dairy.
What type of Agriculture does Backyard Adventure Farm practice?
We are considered a subsistence farm participating in:
- Crop Production: Growing vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers.
- Livestock Farming: Raising animals for meat, milk, and eggs (chickens, rabbits, etc..)
- (Eventually) Specialized Agriculture: Apiculture (bee-raising) for honey production and overall garden health.
