Novella Carpenter of Oakland, Calif., is on a quest to bring city dwellers to urban farming.
This story from Time Magazine shows Novella’s six Nigerian dwarf goats hanging out on her porch steps and photos of her second-floor apartment outfitted for milking goats.
Carpenter, the author of “Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer,” is one of a growing number of urban farmers who have forced municipalities to reckon with allowing livestock within city limits.
The truly hard-core urban farmers are plumping their animals for meat, shortening the food-supply chain and being responsible carnivores, Time reported.
“It’s empowering,” said Carpenter, who is raising rabbits to eat. “People want to own their meat-eating.”
