Chicken Coops:
Our chicken coop is from Omlet, see them at:
http://www.omlet.us/homepage/
Wonderful pre-fab chicken coops that can not only protect your ladies but save your marriage too! :) made by Omlet. So very well designed and your honey won't have to spend 6 weekends in a row building a coop for you.
We have had the "classic eglu" (not sold anymorein the USA) and the Cube. We have hens + ducks, their eggs are tasty!

A great handout to be seen at http://www.grassrootsinfo.org/pub/greencard.pdf (zoom out once so you can read it)
I only recommend organic methods of lawn care, please do not put more chemicals out there into our world,+ into our kids.

Eating Local? YES!!!
Boulder Farmer's Market, any farmer's market is a great resource for well...buying local food. Boulder's is awesome because it is a "growers market" which means that they sell what they grow, they don't bring in watermelons from out of state. And that's the whole point right?

CSA: stands for Community Supported Agriculture but you already knew that. We were members of Monroe Farm CSA for years and they are awesome. I have friends who are members at Grant Family Farm CSA and with the DUG DeLaney Farm CSA. There are quite a few to be found in and around Denver, they are a great way to buy local organic produce from a family farm and get a community to boot!
