Tuff Shed Chicken Coop

When you think of a chicken coop you probably picture an old wood frame. Complete with rusty mesh wire and a soiled dirt floor. But those backyard abominations are ancient history.

Urban homesteading the movement towards green living and self-sufficiency for urban living, has surged.  Therefore, updated chicken coops have become more and more commonplace in everyone’s backyard.

Urban homesteading is not a new phenomenon though. As early as 1893, citizens of a depression-struck Detroit were asked to use any vacant lots to grow vegetables. The mayor of Detroit intended for these gardens to produce income. As well as boost food supplies, and self independence during times of hardship. Similarly, during the first World War president Woodrow Wilson called upon all American citizens to utilize any available open space for food growth. Wilkson saw this as a way to pull us out of a potentially damaging situation.

And just like in those troubling times, farming still doesn’t have to be contained to farms or rural locations. That’s why here at TUFF SHED we are proud to provide our customers with an up-to-date option for their backyard – whether you live in the country or in the city.
