review:
Daughter of hippies moves to Oakland, starts farm in vacant lot…hilarity ensues. There were some wince-worthy moments, but definitely both entertaining and inspiring. Would I ever try to raise pigs (yes, really!) myself? No, but I can see now why they’re popular in (medieval) northern Europe and Asia. And I find myself strangely tempted to try raising chickens and/or rabbits.
