I have been a homesteader most of my life. Growing up, we valued self-sufficiency. We gardened, canned, froze, and dried our own food. We baked bread and even made our own beef jerky.
I have lived on 3 previous homesteads. This year, we moved to my fourth. I hope to put down deep roots and stay here for the rest of my days.
I am a life-long horsewoman. I love dogs. Over the course of years I have raised bees, chickens, ducks, sheep, and goats at various times.
I have been a Master Gardener, although I let my certification lapse. I am an avid gardener and herbalist.
This blog will be about developing our new homestead, as well as my musings about this lifestyle.
