How to become an urban farmer:  

Step 1: Have an unplanned mental breakdown/existential crisis (do you see what we did there?)

Step 2: Find a mirror

Step 3: Look at yourself long and hard— remind yourself you’re not getting younger 

Step 4: Re-evaluate your priorities

Step 5: Devote all your spare time to researching chickens

Step 6: Tell your friends you’re getting chickens

Step 7: Defend your sanity

Step 8: Plan the coop

Step 9: Get chicks before the coop is ready to give your ADHD brain a deadline

Step 10: Fall in love with your life again 

But seriously, somewhere between the $300 grocery bill and the third back-to-back birthday party, there is going to come a day where you say “Why am I doing this?”. And that’s where it starts. Welcome to your midlife crisis. No red convertibles, no hot young lover, no gambling problem— just a growing suspicion that maybe you were meant to do more with less.  None of the projects that follow anywhere near as important as 01, and unfortunately we don’t have a magic link that will fix all of your problems. BUT, what we can do is bring you along on our journey to learn from our mistakes, benefit from our wins, and maybe—just maybe, make you laugh a little.
