About this listen

Tired of feeling disconnected from your food—stuck with fragile supply chains and surrounded by concrete? Think a sustainable, self-sufficient life is only possible in the countryside?

City Abundance proves that a thriving homestead can flourish right where you are.

Anya Sharma, an experienced urban homesteader, shows how to cultivate abundance on balconies, rooftops, windowsills, courtyards, and small backyards. This practical guide blends step-by-step methods with an empowering mindset shift—revealing the untapped potential of city spaces for growth, creativity, and resilience.

Inside City Abundance, you’ll learn how to:

  • Turn balconies and windowsills into productive edible landscapes.
  • Build and maintain living soil in containers and small plots.
  • Choose high-yield, adaptable, and heritage varieties for city conditions.
  • Use smart watering and season-extension to harvest year-round.
  • Raise chickens, bees, quail, rabbits, and worms responsibly within local rules.
  • Preserve harvests with canning, fermenting, dehydrating, and freezing.
  • Adopt zero-waste habits and recycling that work in apartments.
  • DIY vertical gardens, compact composting, rainwater capture, and simple solar hacks.
  • Make everyday staples—bread, yogurt, kombucha—at home.
  • Build resilience and community through barter, mutual aid, and local networks.

More than a how-to, this book invites you to see the city as a canvas for abundance. You’ll find inspiration, clear frameworks, and real stories of urban dwellers thriving in unlikely spaces.

Stop waiting for the “perfect” rural setup. City Abundance is your blueprint for a sustainable, joyful, and resilient life—right where you are.
