Humble Beginnings

You can’t see this just yet but you will once I’ve finally launch this site! Here we are sitting on 34 acres with no real knowledge on what to do with it; we’ve been learning as we go, making plenty of mistakes and hopefully learning a bit from them. We’ve explored many avenues we could take with everything but of course I’m so indecisive I’ve yet to land on just one thing! How could I when the possibilities are endless. Well budget is a giant factor to that!

My husband and I have had to build a home, take care of an ever growing number of animals and somehow still pay the bills and feed ourselves in the middle of it. Now I’m trying to start something for our future in the midst of an economic shit-storm so to say I’m fatigued is the least of it. But I will not let this deter me from building something for my family, I can not allow it. So here we are building a website to hopefully blend together all of the insane things that I do and grant them a spotlight like that maybe something wonderful can come out of it. An easier way for people to access my crafts or answer the questions they may have, who knows!

This entire year I’ve been cleaning up the property, fixing up my chicken houses and spending way too much time at the vet. A necessary set of chores but it’s all with the hopes that by Spring next year I’ll be able to host local Farm Swaps and events that could not only build a community but also help raise some funds for feed! It hasn’t been an easy chore at all with weeks worth of disgusting heat and rains. Also putting up fences in 109 degree weather just sounds terrible so building our garden will have to wait until the Fall! But we can rebuild our compost system in the meantime and build onto it a farm for black solider flies for the chickens.

I’ll wrap this up by saying this, I may overwork myself but it’s worth it to know my animals will have a nice place to live and full bellies.
