About

Welcome to Notre Ferme Urbaine! I was a French major in college and one of the few things I can do with that major is say things in French! So Notre Ferme Urbaine is simply french for Our Urban Homestead. This is the place where I document my family's journey in homesteading. Join us as we attempt to raise chickens, garden, and improve our home.

Meet the family!
