Homesteading Thread #1, In Honor of Granny

So, I'm sure at least one person here on FR has wondered what happened to me, maybe two of you. Before I really really stopped posting, many of us had discussed the possibility, and or the desire, to get out of the city to our own little homesteads and try to grow some food, for security, for peace of mind, for whatever reason.

Well, my family did it.

Two years ago we made the jump. We bought a place in the country, and have spent the past couple of years setting up our little homestead. We have a big garden, many chickens, some ducks, some guineas, some sheep, some goats, and a barn for all of them. A woodstove, a hand pump well, even a solar chicken coop.

Any of my old pals, and any new ones, come check us out! Would be pleased to hear from you, and share what we are learning.

Please ping any of my old buddies that you know of; I seem to have misplaced my old ping list!

Hey, thanks JJ.

Jimrob figured a 5-year suspension was enough. I’ve been back for a couple months now, but haven’t had too much time to dive in here.

I did see that some of my Cruz supporting friends got the boot. Happens every cycle, sure as a the swallows return to wherever the hell they return to.
