I am always amazed that big cities will allow them in the US but small farming towns won't. I am hoping this will change with younger generations.

The generation in power in these small towns is usually the first that moved off the farm. They often went to college, got jobs off the farm, and later made a good deal of money by selling their parent's farm land to developers. Though there is nothing wrong with those life choices, they always seem to me to have an attitude that they want to deny or forget where they came from. Current zoning and property use laws in such towns reflect their ideas which are against any sort of "farming" within the city limits.

Oh, they will tell stories of "the good old days", but their current lives are wholly divorced from the life they led as kids on a farm and that their parents led. It is a shame that so many were inspired to feel shame at being the people that fed the country because it was (and still is) seen as unfashionable and even backward.

This needs to change and I can see that in some circles it is.

I am so happy to hear you have a little urban farm! I think those are amazing and such a benefit to so many besides even just the owners.

Thank you so much for reading and for your comment. I wish you success and happiness on your little farm!
