If we can have urban cowboys then I guess we can have urban farmers.
Following the astounding growth of Urban Farm magazine, and the burgeoning interest in urban farming, BowTie, Inc. announced the launch of UrbanFarmOnline.com.
“The sustainable lifestyle is of interest to a growing number of people,” said June Kikuchi, Vice President Chief Content Officer. “People want to live in a manner that encourages energy conservation, healthy foods and supporting local goods and services.”
UrbanFarmOnline.com will feature a wide variety of topics, including urban livestock, sustainable living, and gardening in an urban environment as well as an online community for sharing tips and ideas for starting your own backyard or patio farm.
To celebrate the launch, visitors have the chance of winning daily prizes from May 18, 2010 to May 28, 2010. Prizes include chicken coops, pens, feeders, garden tools, trimmers, food dehydrators, outdoor grills, work-wear for women and more!
