The Renegade Poultry Project

'Tis the season... Everyone gets all green-thumbed, outdoorsy, and turns into the grill-master - so what better for the backyard than some local fauna, by local we mean ABQ raised chickens (not too close to the grill though, hmm!) We got a hand full of sign-ups recently, so back to the good 'ol No Sleep routine...so with the recent heat we've decided to take up the Spanish art of the siesta , though instead of spending the night drinking at the disco, its to the workshop for a whole other kind of disco (there is of course still beer, music & lots of dancing, ask Cameron about that- viva Nuevo México!) Recent projects : 'Home Sweet Home' brought to the Mile-Hi Farmers' Market last week and dropped off to a renter's backyard after! You guessed it: 'Home Sweet Home Coop' ode to the magic & traditions in the New Mexican wind Red or Green...red for this one - Ristra 'Chickens in Space' the inspiration for this c

whewwww, we've been scrambling these last few days to get everything completely ready for the Mile-Hi Farmers' Market which starts this SUNDAY JUNE 14! Can't believe its already here! Since taking on this project in March I remember thinking "June will come so fast, there won't be enough time" but now with Sunday fast approaching I feel like we've been running the market as long as the business.  It's insane how much I identify with being the Mile-Hi Market Manager now, when only 3 months ago it seemed an impossible feat.  By carrying around my binder and going though it everyday, writing myself sticky-notes and setting constant reminders, it doesn't even feel like it was all that much work. Now we're more concerned with getting the Renegade Rent-A-Coop booth ready.  We've been so much more focused on the market as a whole that everything we envisioned for our booth this year isn't exactly there yet....but we still have 20 hours!
