The Beginning

Posted in Farm Happenings

Somedays I wonder, "When did it begin?"  As far back as I can remember, I was always playing in the dirt and dragging home some animal.  Paul grew up in the country.  His family had a milk cow in the 60's.

Even as adults, Paul & I were involved in life's events & lessons that taught us the history of our nation.  These lessons have come in handy now that own our homestead. 

We are bringing this lifestyle alive for many people of all ages through our farm tours.  Our farm is the culmination of the time period between 1850-1950.  We produce the majority of our own food including all our meat, eggs, milk (of course dairy products such as butter & cheese), honey and vegetables.

Individual homesteading lessons are given in areas of blacksmithing, soapmaking and spinning and others.

I hope to be able to contribute often to this blog, but I can't promise a thing.  Life gets busy in the winter (the only time I make cheddar cheese and when I do the majority of my spinning) and then it picks up to warp speed with planting, gardening & harvesting.
