The Urban Permaculture Podcast

Day by day, Bob and Heather are transforming their home in the city into a busy Urban Permaculture Homestead. Follow along and learn how they are creating their own little slice of farmland in the middle of a historic district in an Ohio City. Bob and Heather own Hogs and Hens Urban Farm. They are in zone 6a, and have just shy of 1/2 acre of land right in the middle of the city. See how they break the cycle of commercial dependence by creating food abundance!

Great listen for both rural and urban homesteaders

I just learned about this podcast that is being created by someone less than a couple hours away. It’s been a great listen so far and I can’t wait to learn more!

Great Permaculture podcast!

Great, very useful information without a bunch of useless chatter. I love that they give tips that even people living on a small property can use to live a more permaculture minded life. Great show, keep up the good work.
