Fierystudios Vögelein Clockwork Game

City Hippies

These guys are fun. They're what I imagine M & D might accomplish someday, only with the volume turned up to eleven.

They have a cob oven, they brew their own BioDiesel, make their own soap, keep rabbits, chickens and ducks, and live in suburban Pasadena. Everything you see them growing is being raised in a 1/10 acre plot: their total lot space is just 66 x 132 feet. The last two years, they've produced over three tons of food each year.

From what I can see, the four adults who work on this urban farm are making their living off the farm -- mostly by selling organic produce. It wouldn't surprise me if they had other jobs outside the house -- but they've been at it for five years now.

Go, city hippies!
