OUR STORY
In 2010, our family moved to Jersey City with a vision of embracing sustainability and hands-on learning. With young kids at home, we wanted to teach them an important lesson about farming and nature. So, we posed the age-old question: “What came first, the chicken or the egg?” This simple curiosity sparked an adventure that would shape our lives.
To find the answer, we took a trip to a local farm and brought home a dozen eggs. For 21 days, we patiently watched and waited—until three tiny chicks finally hatched. What started as a fun experiment quickly grew into something much bigger. Our small urban farm soon gained popularity in the neighborhood, and over the years, we expanded our family of animals.
Today, our urban farm is home to more than 30 chickens, 7 ducks, 2 rabbits, 5 dogs, 3 cats, and 1 fish. What began as a lesson for our children has blossomed into a thriving, sustainable way of life that we love sharing with our community.
Welcome to our farm—we’re so glad you’re here!
ABOUT URBAN QUACK
Our farm is home to over 30 free-range chickens and seven ducks, all raised with love and care. They roam freely, enjoying a natural yet urban environment where they can thrive. Their diet consists of organic scraps sourced from local restaurants, ensuring they stay healthy while also reducing food waste.
We believe in ethical, sustainable farming and take pride in providing our birds with a happy, well-cared-for life. In return, they give us fresh, high-quality eggs and bring joy to everyone who visits.

Did you know that for Asian or Pacific Islander, odds of finding a bone marrow stem cell match based on ethnic background is less than 47%. Hard to believe but I need a bone marrow stem cell transplant. But as luck would have it, I found a donor and underwent a transplant in June 2023. In an effort to give others a better chance at finding a life saving match, I would like to help create awareness for this cause.
In January of 2023, I was diagnosed with AML leukemia. Like many, I was living my life to the fullest, when out of the blue my body started signaling that something was not quite right. I was fortunate to have been able to travel to Sweden with my family over the holidays last year. However, I was tired the entire trip, but at 56 I felt I wasn’t exercising enough so I thought I was just out of shape or perhaps the altitude or jet lag was getting to me. When I got back home to New Jersey, I was sick with a really bad stomach virus. My doctor ordered tests and labs. I was immediately sent to the hospital to get 3 pints of blood and then to my surprise, I was referred to an oncologist who diagnosed me with AML Leukemia. This was all within a week of returning from my trip! Wow, how life can change in a heartbeat.
Please consider joining the National Donor Registry so patients have a greater chance of finding a match. I am one of the lucky Asian Americans that found a match and I want to help others have the chance, the hope, the ability to continue their lives - but that cannot happen without registry participants. Would you be willing to help? Scan the QR code in the attached flyer or request information (at the link in the comment section below). The Be the Match Organization will then send you a swab kit. You simply swab your cheek lining and send it back to the National Donor Registry - it’s simple!
