7:00 PM
Sundari Kraft is the founder of Sustainable Food Denver, an advocacy organization dedicated to promoting the keeping of Food-Producing Animals (FPAs) in the city. She also runs Heirloom Gardens, a Neighborhood Supported Agriculture project. Sundari teaches classes in backyard chicken and goat keeping, and has spoken on behalf on FPAs in local newspapers and on Colorado Public Radio. She lives in Northwest Denver with her backyard hens and two dwarf dairy goats.
Many people are becoming interested in producing their own food because of environmental, health, and food safety concerns -- not to mention the fact that homegrown food tastes better! However, homegrown food doesn't have to be limited to vegetables. There is a growing movement in this country of keeping small backyard Food-Producing Animals, like hen chickens and dwarf dairy goats. These animals can be kept cleanly and safely in a city backyard, and are a sustainable way for families to enjoy affordable and healthy food. Denver's current permitting process for obtaining these animals is expensive and complex, but there are groups working to change this.
