Chicken Coup outside the Backyard Farmer
The Eugene Backyard Farmer Thrives!
Bill Bezuk, owner of The Eugene Backyard Farmer, gives back to his community through his knowledge of urban farming.
The Eugene Backyard Farmer, or otherwise known as Bill Bezuk has quite the green thumb. From raising chicks, to tending to bees and to growing his own produce, the owner of this local business has mastered the business of at home urban farming.
Bill Bezuk has been digging in the dirt for as long he can remember and has always been intrigued by urban farming. He has brought this concept to life in Eugene and has costumers throughout Lane County coming to his store with their backyard farming needs.
In the store any costumer can find and purchase an array of items. Seeds, organic bees wax, shovels, chicken feed, feeders, wooden beehives, plants, books and even baby chicks! Bill Bezuk has just the right items to get anyone started on getting their backyard farm up and going,
A local, regular costumer of the Eugene Backyard Farmer, Martha Ray, describes Bill Bezuk in one simple sentence, “Bill is so knowledgeable and I truly believe that he wants to spread the word about backyard farming to the entire Eugene community!”
Bill Bezuk is extremely passionate about his work within the Eugene and Lane County community. Spreading knowledge to the public about the massive benefits to owning your own chickens, having your own fresh honey comb and growing your very own produce is a main goal of The Eugene Backyard Farmer.
The motto of The Eugene Backyard Farmer is, “Simplicity. Sustainability. Self-Reliance,” and that is exactly what you get with Bill Bezuk and his local business. Bill Bezuk wants all of costumers to succeed in creating their own biodynamic backyard that can produce successfully. It brings joy to Bezuk to see return costumers in his store continuously trying to make their gardens flourish as much as possible. And when he sees these familiar faces, he knows that he has helped another costumer find their connection to farming.
“The gratification of being to produce your own food on your own land is a wonderful feeling because it is in its purest form. And I love knowing that I grew something for myself. And having fresh eggs is a nice perk too” says Martha Ray.
The popularity of owning your own chickens and baby chicks has become recently very popular in Eugene. Owning chickens and chicks has become a trend that keeps growing and growing and Bill Bezuk knows all too well about raising chicks and incorporating them in your backyard farm. Bezuk strives to acknowledge to public about how simple urban, backyard farming truly is and he has done that with the help of his baby chicks.
Like Martha Ray, many other residents in Eugene and Lane County have hopped on the owning chickens wagon and have incorporated them into their daily lives and routines thanks to help of The Eugene Backyard Farmer and its owner.
Other than just having his own store to encourage backyard farming, Bill Bezuk also hosts various classes to the public that he teaches as well. Some of these great and informative classes concerning urban farming include classes on keeping backyard chickens and Top Bar Beekeeping for beginners. These classes may sound out of the ordinary for some people, but Bill Bezuk strives to get people out of their comfort zone and to try something new, like backyard, urban farming.
With more and more people giving urban farming a shot, more and more people are spreading the word as well. Backyard farming is becoming much more prevalent which means Bezuk’s costumers are reaping the benefits of having their own produce. Not only are Bill’s costumers growing their own natural produce, they are also consuming their foods at the highest and purest quality.
Many young families who have children are fully embracing the concept of urban farming. Bill Bezuk explains that many people do not know where their food is really coming and what chemicals their produce are being with. Feeding children pesticides at such a young age is not exactly what is best for their health. Even buying organic foods may not be nutritionally good enough for kids. This is why these young families go to Bill; so that they too can have their families reap the benefits of urban farming.
Bill Bezuk even sells informative children’s books at The Eugene Backyard Farmer to get young kids interested in urban farming right from the get go. Kids are never too young to start learning about chickens, gardens and bees!
Bill Bezuk seeks out to help people of all ages create a sustainable, producing backyard garden, beehive, and chicken coop. This concept of urban backyard farming has completely flourished in Eugene and Lane County because of the hard work, determination and knowledge that Bill Bezuk has put into his work at The Eugene Backyard Farmer.
His passion for connecting with the land and his animals has spread to his costumers and it seems to be that passion of backyard farming is spreading all throughout Eugene. His knowledge and love for urban farming is infectious and he knows that without the fertile land and without his animals, none of what he is doing would be possible.
Bill Bezuk is not all work all of the time though. He always takes moments out of his day to pet his cats and tend to his adult chickens and baby chicks on a much more personal level. Even though these animals are not for play and have jobs of their own, they’ll never pass up one on one time with Bill. He loves his animals and enjoys seeing their faces on a day-to-day basis.
