Well, Let me tell ya. It seems that I bit off more than I could chew. My original idea was to make Urban Homestead a magazine style/community for people to get together and talk about “rural self sufficiency in an urban landscape”. I still think that’s a good idea, I just don’t think that I am the one to do it. I had set up the site in a magazine style, thinking that I would get other authors to contribute. Sadly that didn’t happen, and I could not fill it up by myself. Working full time, parenting, and farming my urban backyard, didn’t leave much time to run an online magazine and supply all the content. Then, something happened to the database and I lost the whole thing.

So, this is what I decided to do. I am starting the site back up, but this time, it’s more of a personal journal of my family transforming our .5 acre in the middle of town, into an urban homestead. Garden, livestock, orchard, and anything else we can fit. Due to the fact that my day job is as a TV Producer, there may be media (read: Podcasts, Video Podcasts) involved. I am in the process of salvaging some of the old articles that I wrote, so if your interested in backyard chickens, or making your own home brewed hard cider, then just keep checking back and I’ll have some up soon. I want to thank everyone who enjoyed the site for coming by, and I want to welcome anyone new. Here’s to getting it right this time. Cheers!
