Chicken Classes!
Wondering what it takes to raise chickens in your backyard?
I'm "eggcited" to share 😄 that a special series of classes will be available this summer! I am partnering with the City of Lodi and their Parks & Recreation to offer a total of four classes:

This class is perfectly designed for those considering raising their own backyard chickens or those who would like a refresher on the basics. You’ll learn everything you need to know that first year, from choosing baby chicks and setting up a brooder to the move to the big coop and laying those very first eggs. We’ll talk about best practices and all the tips and tricks!
