Slow Food Spokane River will be pecking around the South Hill this year for our 4th Annual Urban Chicken Coop Tour. We’ll scratch around at 3-4 backyard coops of different sizes and styles to help you hatch ideas for designing a coop of your own!

Once again, you can complete the tour via foot, bicycle or carpool.

After the tour, gather back together for prizes, egg eats and to get to know fellow egg-ceptional chicken lovers!

The Year of Plenty blog was created by Craig Goodwin in the winter of 2008 to chronicle the experiences of his family as they sought to consume everything local, used, homegrown or homemade. That journey was a wonderful introduction to people and movements in the Spokane area who are seeking the welfare of the community through local foods, farmers markets, community gardens, sustainable transportation, and more fulfilling and just patterns of consumption. In 2009 and beyond the blog will continue to report on these relationships and practices, all through the eyes of a family with young children. Craig manages the Millwood Farmers' Market, is a Master Food Preserver and Pastor at Millwood Presbyterian Church. Craig can be reached at goody2230@gmail.com
