Did you read that book, The World Without Us? It's about what would happen if humans disappeared off the face of the earth. Cities would rust, sewer systems would explode, parks would go wild. I've been thinking about what would happen if I disappeared–the bunnies would click on their lix-it bottles, the goats would quietly go feral, the bees would swarm over and over again. Knowing this, when I booked my trip to the East Coast, I began ferrying animals here and there. Which always gives me a...

Lord, the Fire Marshall came to the farm early this week. They're doing an assessment of all the "vacant" lots in Oakland, looking for fire hazards. I saw them idling their truck at the gate, looking curiously in, so I walked up to ask if I could help them. He asked if I had the land zoned for agricultural use.

I'm ready to announce it to the world: I'm starting another urban farm. It's in San Lorenzo (okay, maybe it's a suburban farm…). One acre, a barn, with fruit trees and fields. My farm partner, Abeni, brought some of the goats up today and installed them in their new digs.

The biggest job was clearing out the barn...
