Hi to some names I recognize and a bunch of new ones!

I hopped over here from BYH once I discovered there was a whole forum of people interested in self sufficiency!

My husband, daughter and I have a small homestead. We raise Nigerian Dwarf and Mini Alpine goats for milk, have heritage pigs for meat and (mostly) heritage chickens for eggs. We have primarily Dominiques, the oldest breed in America!

We also raise meat birds and turkeys for the freezer. This year we've gotten to the point where we don't have to buy any meat!

My husband also hunts and we have a garden which we will expand as we can. I plan to homeschool my daughter and expand our self sufficiency in the years to come. We are motivated to get to the point where we are off the grid but that's way in the future.

Looking forward to chatting with everyone!

Hey! Glad you came over to SS! Because of SS I have my Excalibur dehydrator and Family Grain Mill. SS is also responsible for me drooling over the All American pressure canner for 3 years so this year I finally sucked it up and bought one.

Ah I just told my husband he can keep the dang turkey hens. Not the tom though, we will look for a new one between now and breeding season. There are only 2 hens and my husband really really adores them, for God knows what reason. OK they're pretty. Not right now because they're molting but usually they are.

I keep trying to downsize and more animals keep staying...
