If we learned anything from the Pauly Shore classic Son in Law, it’s that everyone can benefit from a little bit of country living. Unfortunately, Phoenix isn’t exactly the easiest place to start up a farm.

Want a little slice of rural life, but don’t quite have the acreage? Rachel Bess has a solution for you during her “Raising Chickens in Your Backyard” schooling session. The class promises to teach you everything you need to know to start your own miniature chicken farm that could very well give you that country living you’re looking for (plus, a lifetime supply of fresh eggs ain’t nothing to shake a stick at).
