This blooming tree, the bookshelf full of educational material, the dock to settle the mind and really hone in on ideas, and obviously out in the yard with a good ole cup of coffee!

Welcome to Urban Chicks: Your Everyday Guide to Intentional Living!

We started as two city folks who, like many of you, realized during the pandemic just how important it is to be able to provide for ourselves. That realization grew into Urban Chicks—our urban homestead where we raise healthy animals (meat, fur, and fancy rabbits, quail, and guinea pigs!) and grow produce right here in the heart of the city.

Our mission is to prove that you don't need acres of land to live a more intentional, self-sufficient life. We're all about simplicity, growth, and connection. We blend warmth and realness with practical, how-to guidance so you can start your own journey, whether you're a seasoned farmer or just planting your first seed!

We believe everyone deserves access to nutritious food. Ready to learn more about sustainable living and connecting with your food source?

✨ Responsible Rabbit Breeding Means Making Hard Decisions ✨

One of the toughest parts of maintaining a healthy, goal-focused breeding program is recognizing when a rabbit— even one I truly care about — isn’t the right fit for the future of the herd.

Responsible breeding means prioritizing temperament, health, and breed standards so that the overall program improves with each generation. Sometimes that means letting go of a rabbit who doesn’t meet those goals.

It’s never an easy decision, but it is part of ethical herd management. My priority is always to ensure every rabbit is treated with respect and handled in the most humane, responsible way possible.

I’d love to hear what your current dream(s) are.

Whether it’s homestead related or not. What is one goal or dream that you are working daily towards? How do you keep the motivation to push for this?
Are there smaller achievable goals you must take to get to this?

Warm, cozy, and comforting 🥔

The aroma fills the house, wrapping us in a comforting hug as it bakes. It’s the perfect way to spend a cozy afternoon while the leaves blow outside, and it brings everyone together for a sweet snack.

I love experimenting with different add-ins—sometimes it’s nuts, other times it’s chocolate chips. What about you? Do you have a favorite twist on banana bread? I’d love to hear your ideas! Let’s swap tips in the comments! 👇💬

If you’re looking for a simple, heartwarming recipe to try, save this post for later and tag a friend who needs to join in on the banana bread love! 💕 Happy baking, friends! 🥰🍞
