Only the difference is she's not farming out in the middle of nowhere she's raising food on a vacant lot behind her apartment on 28th Street in Oakland.
While their countercultural back-to-the-land experiment ultimately fell apart, the underlying idea persevered, and, in the midst of working on her master's degree at UC Berkeley, Carpenter decides to dig a garden and start raising turkeys, rabbits and pigs. The desire for a simpler life in the country, filled with the excitement of living like pioneers, spurred Novella Carpenter's parents to move away from the Bay Area in the 1970s.
