This Saturday, July 11, Seattle Tilth’s Chicken Coop & Urban Farm Tour takes Seattleites to the city’s top urban farms. There are three home sites in Ballard– featuring chickens, mason and honey bees, and edible gardens.
On the self-guided tour, participants can glean great ideas from creative neighbors who are incorporating animals and gardens into their home landscapes.
The full tour demonstrates what accommodations are needed for keeping miniature goats, ducks, bees, and rabbits. Besides Ballard, there are sites all around Seattle, including NE, West Seattle, SE, and Central districts.
The urban adventure costs $12; $5 for kids. Discounts available for groups, bicyclists and Seattle Tilth members. Available online or in Ballard at Walt’s Organic Fertilizer (1528 NW Leary Way).
