Snohomish Shepherdess
My blogs
| Location | Snohomish, Washington |

| Introduction | I grew up on a 700 acre cattle and wheat ranch in Eastern Oregon where we grew a huge garden, canned and pickled the bounty, kept a family milk cow, ate the deer and elk we hunted, as well as the beef we raised. My husband's parents also grew a huge garden, raised goats for meat and dairy, chickens for meat and eggs, and focused on whole grain foods. Raising and growing a lot of our own foods is not a new way of life for us but rather a continuation of what we grew up with. We carry on the food traditions of our parents, plus a few new ones of our own, while living on 7 acres in Snohomish, Washington. Besides thinking about food almost all the time, I also make handspun yarns from my sheep's wool. |
