Why did the chicken cross the road? To get into Jason and Michelle's garden. That's for sure.
Jason and Michelle are urban farmers in downtown Santa Barbara, CA. who started with a few chickens and has since expanded into ducks and raised vegetable beds full of every kind of produce you can imagine. Chapala Chickens is the name of their facebook page, which they started as a way of keeping their friends up to date on their chicken world. If you haven't checked out Chapala Chickens, it is a great page with lots of fun stuff.
As a chef, Jason is accustomed to utilizing great ingredients so it was a natural progression into growing his own food. His inspiration was his grandfather, a police officer and urban farmer in Santa Barbara, CA. Jason's story is inspirational in itself. His grandfather definitely set a good example for Jason. Michelle, Jason's girlfriend couldn't get a word in on the show, but she and Jason were celebrating their two-year anniversary. They look like they are made for each other. Congratulations you two!
We had fun talking about their livestock and their vegetable garden and if you look closely at the picture, you'll see the fabulous basket of produce they brought us! Yum, yum.
For me, it is particularly exciting to see younger folks becoming as excited about gardening as we are.
If I can figure it out, technically, you will soon be able to listen to Garden Gossip on my website, blog or facebook (whichever I can figure out first). I would love so help from a technical person out there. Until next time, fill your garden with joy! Lisa
