A Brush With Life
#17 - Little Homestead in the City - with Heidi Kern
Please leave me your feedback and ideas here!
As a young girl, Heidi Kern was inspired by "Little House on the Prairie" and dreamed of creating a self-sufficient life where she grew all her own food and sewed her own clothing. As an adult, she wound up living in the city but she and her husband Chris have transformed their cul-de-sac lot into an urban farmstead. Growing vegetables, fruits, herbs and chickens, Heidi produces most of the food for her family and generously shares her skills with the community. She leads the group "Backyard Bounty Urban Homesteading" and co-founded the Rochester Seed Library at the Rochester Public Library.
Visit the Backyard Bounty Urban Homesteading site to learn about their upcoming events and see gorgeous photos of Heidi's garden bounty.
