About City Folk’s Farm Shop:
City Folk’s Farm Shop was created to connect city-dwellers to goods, services, information and other people who are interested in city farming. Owners Shawn, a former marketing professional and backyard gardener, and Gerry, a builder interested in green design and alternative energy, opened the store in their Clintonville-Beechwold neighborhood. They stock the store with gardening tools and supplies, backyard animal feeds and equipment, and homesteading products from local and small businesses wherever possible.
