Introduction | I worked over 10 years in the home improvement industry before leaving to have my twins. I am now a SAHM, Stay At Home Mom. I have been blessed with three little girls ages 3 and 6 months, the youngest girls are twins. The kids are the main reason my husband and I started raising our own animals for food and planting a garden. We wanted, like a lot of parents, to know where the food the kids were eating came from. I grew up with a little of a farming background. Mostly helping friends with their family farms, 4H, and gardening but my family raised chickens for many years for eggs. Now our farm has a Haflinger horse we use for farming, a Mule Foot hog, chickens, goats, and soon to add geese, rabbits and turkeys. This year my husband and I have planed to expand the farm and start going to farmers markets with our produce. We also have a lot of building planed for this year and I hope to document all of it so other people can learn form our ideas or mistakes. Enjoy and God bless. |
