I live in southcentral Kansas outside of Wichita. We live in the country and enjoy the peace and quiet here. I practice emergency preparedness, so do a lot of canning, dehydrating, buying in bulk, and cooking from scratch. I just found this blog tonight and was happy to find a lot of recipes for mixes of all kinds. I will have my first container garden this year, and have started purchsing seeds. I will be using the plastic buckets that kitty litter comes in for my containers.
We have 2 very big dog pens that I would like to combine and build a chicken coop. I would like them to free range, but we have wild dogs and cyotes, so they would not last long without protection. I am considering building a chicken tractor, so I could move it around to prevent them scratching the grass bare. At night I would move them back to the protection of the pen and coop. Anyone else keep chickens for eggs and meat ???
I am just learning to make cheese. I am starting with cow's milk, but would also like to find a source for goat's milk and sheep's milk for other types of cheeses.
Looking forward to getting to know you all.
Wishing you warm homes and full larders

Hello All..I live in Northeast Ohio, we live on 5.5 acres, nearby a very large Amish community. What once was considered very rural, is starting to build up the last few years. We loved it when we'd only see 5 cars pass by the house..that's all changed.

Hey everybody! I am just south on Indianapolis in Mooresville, IN. Everyone I know says I'm crazy when I say Suzanne has my life!! Someday I will have my goat's, greenhouse and chickens…for today it's bills and work and kids, sigh. At least now I can bake awesome bread, and I made my own container candles, and wreaths for everyone for Christmas out of pinecones I scavenged from my work parking lot! All these things keep me sane in the meantime until I get the whole- buy land and have a farm- thing worked out. Thanks everyone, it means alot to me!

Hi all!! I'm new here so I thought I'd start off by sharing where I'm from! Born & raised in southern Maine. I grew up on the coast, in a 1800s farm house on 20 acres on the saco river. I have lived my entire life on a farm and strongly feel it is the only way of life for me! As a kid I had pretty much every typical farm animal (except llamas bc they freak me out) and always had home grown food.Now that I am grown I live roughly 40 minutes from the coast on an acre of land on the saco river with my partner and our 2 sons. Our dream is to farm this acre as best we can and teach our children the joy of home grown food & all the wonderful aspects of farming & its rewarding hardwork. We bought the house in 2010 and this will be the first year we have a garden and add to our animals (i was hugely pregnant last spring/summer and my hubby works so ya, hoeing and weeding a garden just WASNT happening!!)We currently have 2 goats, a cat and a dog but plan on expanding to chickens, ducks and I REALLY want a lamb and to breed my female goat (yay for furry babies!!) , Mae. Anyway, I have grand plans that require more than an acre, but this is our jumping off point and were jumping in with both feet :)

We live in southwest Missouri on a l75 acre farm. We raise Black Angus cattle, I have a milk cow, Willow, we have a dog and lots of outdoor cats! I also have chickens.
We are very close to Springfield, Mo., Greene Co. just north of I-44.
I started a small orchard; have a berry patch and have a garden every year. I also have lots of flowers…..I can and freeze most all of our food and have been making our bread since 2004. I also make all our soap using home rendered beef tallow and lard.
We even have two llamas! We lost some calves to predators and haven't since buying the llama from a neighbor.

As my sign in says I'm Stuck in Miami.
I was born at Our Lady of the Sacred Check in Eugene, OR. Spent my summers in Lacomb, OR ( Just east of Lebanon, OR) at my grandparents farm where they raised Santa Gertrudes (beef cattle).
Moved to Portland, OR then back to Eugene for a short stint, and now Miami, FL. (Soon to be anywhere else!)
