1 Acre Farm - Urban Farming in Louisville Kentucky

On my 1.09 acre home in Louisville Kentucky I raise chickens a few turkeys, some quail, have a small aquaponics project, grow flowers, grow my own vegetables and just recently have added some Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats. Find out why I do it, how I do it and the joy I get from getting away from the corporate world and getting my hands dirty. Follow my adventure about my house, my yard, my animals, my garden and my life as a corporate tech guy/farmer.

The Colors of Spring

Spring is my favorite time of year here in Kentucky. Growing up in Buffalo New York spring was slow coming.

Here in Kentucky it happens pretty fast and way earlier than up north.

The grass is so green and we get those first bursts of color in March and April. My daffodils, phlox and lilacs have already come and gone.

But there is still plenty of color popping up in my 1 acre farm.

I also saw my first humming bird. So out goes the feeders. We only get a few varieties of humming birds here in Kentucky. But they are fun to watch and if you provide them with food they will return year after year.
