Video: Exploring Farmer Bill’s Urban Oasis

Last week we looked at how the city’s new urban agriculture ordinance has impacted business at City Farmers Nursery. With residents now able to keep backyard chickens, bees and mini goats, nursery owner Bill Tall has started selling feed and supplies and offering how-to classes on raising animals.

But Tall’s business is a lot more than a money-making venture, and video journalist Brian Myers spent a lot of time with Tall talking about just that. Below are the conversations that didn’t make it into that first story.
