Summers Oasis was started a little over 3 years ago in our suburban neighborhood with just 2 raised garden beds. We have now grown to over 15 beds and converted our front pond area into an edible garden. in 2022, we have added chickens to the mix so we can get fresh eggs too. The journey has led to a lot of learning and discovery of how to raise our own food and ourselves.
Our tribe consists of John and Cat and our 3 sons and our little dog Gracie. We live in a suburban neighborhood with an average backyard. It isn’t that big but big enough for us to have chickens and 15 raised garden beds. We all work the garden but Cat and son, Cody, do the most in it.
We were able to grow a lot of food through the pandemic which helped us with our groceries. It also increased our nutritional intake.
