So for starts I'm using two different means to fun my farm this summer. The old stand by is the coin jar. Every night I empty my pockets into the jar. It normally no more than about $10-20 a month but if used wisely that can cover most of small scale urban farming (mostly just buys chicken/rabbit food) But I have found a fun way to save up for bigger projects. I found this cool idea on lifeasyouliveit.blogspot.com It is a chart for saving money. Each week you put in a set dollar or coin amount (I'm using the quarter method one).
The goal for this year's collection is to be used to make a year round (winter hardy) rabbit hutch with 3 to 4 seprate living areas (1 for the buck, 1-2 for does and one for the young). My kids are also starting to raise the funds for a new play house (which will double as a green house)I know this isn't a lot of plans yet but I'm working on it. Plus with all the snow we have around us I find it hard to plan for summer without getting just a little depressed that I haven't seen the sun in about a week. BUT I"m going to force myself to have more plans made soon.
