Egg|Plant Urban Farm Supply

First:

I want to apologize for my extremely long overdue update.  I've finished my Masters degree, moved from Canada back to the States, and have started a new job.
すみません、近頃とても忙しかったのです!

SO!  New favorite store:  Egg|Plant Urban Farm Supply in Saint Paul, Minnesota!


Why is this store so great? 

- Garden supplies. including raised bed kits, heirloom veggies, organic, etc. etc. etc.  

- URBAN CHICKENS.  Yes.  In store, they sometimes (depends on season) have several different breeds of egg-laying chicken chicks for sale!  Check out their scheduled expected breeds for 2013. 

- They also have a ton of great bulk feed bins, starter "kits" for your own chicken coop (or you can buy one pre-made). 

- Canning/pickling/preserving goods.  Large pots, those tong things, cookbooks, all sorts of fun stuff for your canning/pickling/preserving needs. 

Classes.  Total beginner?  No worries!  Egg|Plant offers a plethora of classes, from worm composting to shiitake mushroom cultivation to cheese making to maple tapping to URBAN CHICKEN KEEPING.  They've got all of your urban farmer needs.  

Self-sustainable living.  Take pride in what you eat, 'cuz you did it!
