Maximizing Food Yield: Cultivating 6,000 lbs on a 1/10th Acre Plot | January 7, 2024
Annonce:
Urban farming is becoming a bigger trend year after year as people look for healthy and sustainable ways to feed their families. Now, one family living just 15 minutes outside of downtown Los Angeles, California is showing us just how much we can do with the often little space urban farmers have to work with.
Every year the Dervaes family urban farms yields over 4 thousand pounds of food. They grow over 400 species of plants, get 900 chicken and 1,000 duck eggs, 25 lbs of honey, plus all kinds of seasonal fruits on just 1/10 an acre. On top of all that, the family also owns 8 chickens 4 ducks and 2 goats.
“I brought the country to the city,” explained Jules Dervaes. His family farm is a team effort, all three of his kids and his wife pitching in to help. The plants they harvest are 90 percent of their daily food.
