Brave urbane Schweine, die anstandslos die Reste vom China-Imbiss fressen. Die Truthähne Harold und Maude, die täglich ausreißen, um mit den Prostituierten von nebenan zu frohlocken. Obst und Gemüse im Überfluss, mit dem sich jeder die Plastiktüten vollstopfen darf - das ist Novellas Farm mitten in der Stadt. Novella hat ihren Traum wahr gemacht: Zurück zur Natur und zum bäuerlichen Leben ohne auf Kneipen, Konzerte und exzentrische Nachbarn verzichten zu müssen. Sie erzählt uns alles von Anfang an - von der Entdeckung eines zugemüllten Hinterhofs bis zur ihrer ersten stolzen Homemade-Salami-Party als echter Urban Farmer.
