Calling Homesteaders and Wannabes

  • Post author:

Seattle Tilth’s Chicken Coop and Urban Farm Tour is in the final stages of planning and is looking for a few more participants. I’ve gone on the tour a couple times and been on the tour a couple times. It’s a lot of fun to do with kids and doesn’t conflict with the Kiddie Parade this year. Also, most of the setups you see are done by the owners that show you around. It’s a great opportunity for a personal connection with people and food, and by swapping bloody tales of battles with raccoons and rats you dispel the Seattle chill.

From Chris Iberle of Seattle Tilth:

Seattle Tilth’s Chicken Coop and Urban Farm Tour is on July 14.  We’re still looking for a few more hosts, especially in north, central, south, and west Seattle, and around Issaquah.  We’d love for you to be a part of the tour this year!  We’re also looking for a few more hosts with rabbits, goats, ducks, or other fun urban livestock.

Attached is the application for the 2012 tour, taking place on Saturday, July 14 from 10a.m.-4p.m.  Fill it out and get it back to us with a couple photos by May 31, 2012 (note that our email system doesn’t accept large messages, so please send medium-sized photos or send your application and photos in a separate email).

After receiving your application and photos, we’ll be in touch about the next steps and a site visit sometime in early June.  Feel free to invite neighbors to apply with their cool coops, great goats, and fantastic urban farms, it’s great to have a few in walking distance from one another.

Thanks and don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions!

I've lived here since 1998. I spent 13 years at Microsoft as a developer and manager, concurrent with Ballmer's reign. I quit after seeing my third consecutive project cancelled, while my parents needed help, and my wife was getting stressed working at Seattle Public Schools. Since then, I have helped family and community while taking on side projects and volunteer work. I led the renovation of Meridian Playground, helped moderate the South Transfer Station design, helped advance the Green Lake Way road diet, and have guided several transportation and parks projects through neighborhood involvement. I wrote for Wallyhood for a while and was president of the Wallingford Community Council during the great recession, where thankfully, land use was not an issue. I'm an impatient moderate vegetarian who believes in practical win-win solutions.
