I've been enjoying Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. She describes her family's move to a small farm in southwest Virgina and their attempt to grow all their own food or buy it locally for one year.
I have never harbored a secret desire to farm, but this book has inspired in me a desire to grow asparagus and... keep laying hens. So I was delighted to discover that residents can now keep hens inside the city limits of Knoxville. We're civilized here though: No chicken coops in the front yard.
