<p>I am a stay at home wife, mother, grandmother and homesteader. Adding that last one took a few years but as I sit and looking at the chickens walking around their pin I remember all the joy comes with them. Most have names, we have hand raised them. Next year I will be adding a second garden, goats and a farmdog to the mix. We love our little 7 acres here and can't wait to grow the healthy heirloom, non-gmo foods for our table and our animals.</p>
