I'm looking for some information that I came across before, but can't find now:

It's basically a system, that uses chickens-rabbits-garden-pond in a sort of "closed loop".

Basically, feed chickens and rabbits garden and kitchen scraps --> Use manure to fertilize garden --> Use pond to water garden, and animals, and house food fish --> run off is "treated" by pond.

Does anyone have some sort of information on this?

This may be a good place to start (http://www.motherearthnews.com/grow-it/urban-agriculture-training-zb0z10zkon.aspx). Try a search on the site for "urban farming."

Goat milk and cheese is tasty. The meat is very lean and healthy. Milk the girls, cook the boys.
