Urban Gardening

Die CityFarm Augsburg ist gewachsen! Benjamin Vogt und seine Frau Ildikó haben ihren Traum wahrgemacht. Der ehrenamtlich betriebene, gemeinnützige Mini- Bauernhof steht nach dem Kraftakt des Umzugs vor neuen Herausforderungen. Wie bekommt man eine Subsistenzwirtschaft mitten in der Stadt hin? Warum muss an Silvester eine Wächtergemeinschaft die Schafe beschützen? Wie versorgt man die tierischen Mitbewohner ohne Strom- und Wasseranschluss? Mal humorvoll, mal kritisch, aber immer unterhaltsam führt Benjamin Vogt durch die turbulenten Geschehnisse auf der CityFarm.

Die Geschichte der Cityfarm Augsburg beginnt 2011 mit einer Idee. Benjamin Vogt und seine Frau Ildikó träumen von einem Rückzugsort mitten in der Stadt, einem Leben abseits von Mainstream und Kommerz und davon, als Selbstversorger im Einklang mit der Natur zu leben. Doch bis zum offiziellen Gründungstag der Cityfarm 2012 und auch danach sind die beiden vor viele Herausforderungen gestellt. Wie macht man ein ungeschütztes Grundstück einbruchsicher? Wie fängt man einen Bienenschwarm ein? Welche Tiere eignen sich für die Haltung in der Stadt?
