Carpenter started a farm in the middle of inner city Oakland!  She
recounts planting a garden in raised beds and rearing animals in the
most humane and wonderful way,with such love, finishing them herself
with connection and mercy. Obviously a foodie, she deliciously describes
preparing and consuming the yield.  Her "gateway" animals were ducks,
chickens and turkeys, which led to bees, rabbits and pigs. Gotta love
daily dumpster diving behind eco-chic San Francsico restaurants to feed
her two growing pigs, Big Guy and Little Girl.  Wholly entertaining, I
highly recommend it!
