Dolce Verde Urban Homestead in historic Central Phoenix, AZ
The joy of life is in the journey and we have decided to journey down the path less traveled. Join us as we embark on a new path in our lives striving to live a sustainable life here in our little shire in the mountains and reduce our footprint on this earth.
We will share our experiences with our garden, our goats and chickens, our path to environmental stewardship, cooking from scratch and organically, crocheting, bread making, jam making, homeschooling, soap making and just living simply and being good stewards of our little piece of land God has seen fit to provide us with. We feel that sustainable living starts in your own backyard and so we are endeavocommunity to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.
My steps towards growing most of my own produce, raising chickens and generally becoming more self-sufficient on a small lot (1/5 acre) in central Phoenix.
