A little bit about us:
We are a rural family just trying to make the most of urban living. Growing up in the Yakima Valley with farmer and farm worker grandparents, we have decided to continue to cultivate the land. We are growing and caring for our gardens and animals together as a family. Our two daughters, ages 11 and 3, are learning the importance of knowing where our food is coming from. What better way to teach that lesson than to grow it ourselves! They are very involved in the process. We have given them daily jobs to allow for them to contribute to our family's way of life, and they are loving the responsibility. We are trying to make the most out of our small piece of land. Which is why we have chosen container gardens and planter boxes, espalier trees and grapes, even chickens and rabbits. Each of the facets of our gardening and growing brings us one step closer to sustainability and one less trip to the grocery store. Our Delridge neighborhood is considered a food desert, so not having a grocery store closer than 1.5-3 miles from our home has also proven to be a great motivator.
