Lovin' The Homestead
Hello!
I am a 30 year old stay at home mom. I have a five year old son going to public school and a 19 months old daughter I stay home with (oh and a wonderful husband). I know that most Sufficient Selfer's home school but I feel like I would deprive my son from getting to know his community and making friends.
We live at the end of a dirt road on 15 acres of land. We just moved here two years ago and are just getting our toes wet on working toward a sustainable farm life. I would like to make my own......well anything I can!
We currently have some chickens, some guineas, a bunny, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and a spur-thigh tortoise. I would like to get some Muscovy Ducks for meat, Goats for milk and underbrush control, Pigs to till my garden then for meat, and maybe I can bring myself to kill a chicken.
I started a garden last year but quickly surrendered to ALL the bugs. My dad swears by using Seven Dust but can't bring myself to use harsh chemicals. This year I'm very excited to get my pig to prepare and fertilize the bed, then walk my guineas and chickens to my garden for morning bug treats!
I'm soooo ready for spring and get out to some chicken and farm animal swaps and our local farm markets!
Thanks for reading! I've already learned so much from this forum and BYC forum.....but I have one question....what's a DH?
Bye for now,
Angela
