Hello from WA

[HappyHomestead]

Yea, glad to find you guys I've been so interested in self sufficiency for years, and am slowly moving toward it with the good natured tolerance of my husband. I have a vegetable garden and just got chickens. We make a lot of stuff and live fairly simply. Never a dull moment though - especially with animals

It all starts with chickens--goats will be next If your hubby is anything like mine, he will object at first, but will soon get into the hole swing of things. As I told him--RESISTANCE IS FUTILE

Enjoy the site!

Oh yes, the people here will lure you over to the dark side LOL.

We are thinking our next animal(s) will be bees. I'm still waivering between goats and sheep so the bees my be our next move. I have family that has each, but no one that has them is local. There is a guy just a few houses down that has bees though. sigh. Decisions decisions.

I really like it here though. The people are very helpful, and you get the big added benefit of getting valuable input from people you may not get along with IRL.

Are cooperating hubby's wonderful?!

Welcome!

Hehe we don't REALLY lure folks to any "dark side" or anything like that Well..not often, most new folks kick and scream for a while so I wouldn't exactly call that "luring"...maybe dragging or strong arming

 

[HappyHomestead]

No luring necessary for me Oh, I want bees too! And cashmere goats, and a couple dexter cows. And more chickens - lots of chickens.

You guys are my kind of people

Oh boy, that's scary!

Yes, it definetely starts with the chickens and innocent vegetable garden and then promptly explodes goats, bees and various other fun things all over the place. Gotta love it!!
