Yeah, I’ve considered that, and started this thread about the idea awhile ago:
Ultimately, I wound up deciding that I just plain don’t have the space. If I had two or three acres, I might want chickens or rabbits, but with a fifth of an acre, I prefer to dedicate all of that space to vegetables and fruit trees.
There’s another consideration that is equally important, and it’s this: I don’t like taking care of animals.
Many people do, and many of them don’t like caring for plants very much. That’s awesome! I don’t like programming, and I love that my brother enjoys it, because I benefit from somebody doing it. He doesn’t like growing plants, and he loves that other people enjoy it, because he benefits from somebody doing it.
It’s a great illustration of why community is so important. When everyone does what they love, and looks for ways to use things they love doing to help others, everyone benefits.
