Allow me to share with you my project of the last two months…The Urban Farming Coloring Book!
By yours truly!
I had a ton of fun with this project. I think it’s something adults, and kids, and families, can all do together.
I didn’t want this to just be a coloring book. I wanted it to be informational as well, so that’s why every “chapter” has information about one aspect of urban farming…how to raise chickens…how to prepare soil…how to compost…how to raise worms….and so on, with a corresponding coloring page.
It’s a great way to teach your kids about gardening/urban farming, something I am passionate about and something I think is very important for this next generation. I firmly believe that, as a society, we need to get back to our roots. We need to get our hands dirty. We need to start raising “good” crops and not that GMO crap you find in stores. We need to come together as a community and help each other, barter with each other, and share with each other.
So that’s why I created this coloring book.
It’s available on Amazon, and of course I’ll be selling it around the area at farmers markets and selected stores.
That’s all I’ve got for you today. If you have a child, or a grandchild, or nieces or nephews, this is a fun activity that will also teach them something, and how cool is that?
Thank you!
Bill

This coloring book is more than a book with fun coloring pages for children and adults, it will also help you learn about the joy of gardening and putting fresh food on your table.
