Who said you can’t have goats in the city? We bought two Sannen dairy goats to help clear some weeds on our big urban block and learnt a lot along the way. Read what happened!

Another move and a new garden bed design, this time in the front yard. Take a look at our European inspired permaculture veggie garden.
