How To - Urban Backyard Chickens
The idea of keeping chickens in backyards is a growing trend, with several municipalities having passed ordinances that allow residents to do so. While storebought eggs are completely safe and wholesome, backyard chickens are growing in popularity due to a desire for people to become reacquainted with food production and better understand where and how their food is produced. In this program, you’ll join UF/IFAS Livestock and Natural Resources Extension Agent JK Yarborough to learn more about the basics of keeping a small flock in your backyard.

It’s Healthy Homes and Communities Month at the Center for Health & Wellbeing. All Healthy Homes and Communities programs are highlighted in yellow. Unless otherwise noted, all programs are hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
June is Healthy Homes and Communities Month
You’ve heard the phrase “healthy starts at home,” and while entirely accurate, a more apt expression on the source of health is “healthy starts at home and in our communities.” That’s why this June at the Center for Health & Wellbeing we’re focusing on just that – healthy homes and communities. Because how we treat our homes is the microcosm of how, together, we create and maintain communities that are dynamic places where our children, families and all residents can thrive, grow and live healthy, active lives.

Healthy Homes and Communities Tips
• There are health benefits of cleanliness – and science to back it up! A study from researchers at Indiana University found participants who kept their homes clean were healthier and more active than those who didn’t.
• Practice healthy habits with your children by making your home a healthy one. Serve plenty of water and a variety of colorful fruits and veggies for meals and snacks. Take a daily hour break from screen time to play active games with friends and family.
• There are a set of standards found in communities that are classified as “healthy.” Those standards include quality education, safe and healthy homes, adequate employment, transportation options, access to physical activity and nutrition opportunities, and quality health care.
• Advocate for your community’s health equity. Ask your local legislator to support affordable housing and accessibility to transportation like biking and infrastructure like sidewalks or trails for exercising.
• A 2019 study from Harvard University uncovered 36 tips that were critical to establishing and maintaining a healthy home. The easiest and most impactful? Remove your shoes before entering the home to limit the transfer of dirt, dust and bacteria that collect on the soles of shoes.
• Promote an eco-friendly and clean lifestyle at home by reducing your carbon footprint. Try joining or starting your own community garden, planting a tree, donating or recycling old clothing and technology, or picking up litter.
