Meeting the Authors of "The Urban Homestead"

Last Tuesday, Nick and I were invited to attend a special evening at Project Butterfly in Los Angeles. Apparently, my wishing upon stars finally payed off! Guest speakers that night were Kelly Coyne and Erik Knutzen, authors of The Urban Homestead. Being face to face with the authors of a book that inspired me to take life to the next level, left me feeling almost like a child in a candy store. :)

The evening topics included:
1. Sharing their home and homestead ideas along with photographs.
2. Building self irrigating containers for tomatoes and other large edibles.
3. Preparing sauerkraut! Yummy!

After their talk Nick and I told them all about www.mygreenriverside.com! We also invited them to come to the Growcology Learning Center. We hope to have them come by soon, and we have higher hopes that they will do an event for all of us to enjoy. We'll keep you posted on the idea. In the meantime, I encourage you to take a look at their blog site www.homegrownevolution.com.
