Here on our little farm life can be a little isolated. One of my favorite places to connect with like-minded people is on YouTube, so I created a channel and here we are. I find that I love this little bit of human (read, adult) connection that I decided to start a blog as well.
We raise: geese, blue swedish ducks, laying chickens, meat chickens, silver fox rabbits, milk goats, and wool sheep (dual purpose for meat and milk as well). We used to also raise zebu cattle but decided that if I can't wrangle the animal when worming time comes then we had better move on and admit defeat.
This lifestyle was forced upon me as a child when it was learned that I have serious environmental sensitivities--I couldn't be around water, dirt, pollen, mold. . . anything. I was even allergic to my own sweat. Turns out that wheat was the prime suspect, with wheat in my system I react to everything else, even things that I am not actually allergic to. Once I was off the wheat life became much more normal and I was able to leave my house without going into anaphylactic shock. The long story short is that along the way to this wheat discovery my family tried every other diet under the sun to cure me and we discovered the blessing of growing our own food. So, I am a voluntary farmer for whom food is a cure and a lifestyle.
