Hello everyone. Found this great forum over at BackYardChickens which I actually found from a internet search of chokecherries that lead me to a post in the hobbies forum there. Small world.
I'm married with a very energetic 13yo son. We have been living in Montana for 20 years but I grew up in NH, also living in MA and ME for a few years before moving to MT. We homeschool and stay very busy with a wide variety of interests - reading, science, gardening, cooking, dance, Lego's, Robotics, The Internet, 4H, Camp Fire USA are just a few that come to mind. We have 5 cats and tropical fish - no chickens yet. :/
I consider us to be semi-self sufficient and strive to become more so each day. I cook mostly from scratch and use very few convenience foods. We grow as much of our own food as possible. We've been vegetarian (but not vegan) for several years now so don't raise any food animals or hunt. We try to reduce, reuse, re-purpose, recyle, and compost as much as possible.
I look forward to learning more from everyone and hope that I might sometimes have something worthwhile to contribute also.
