My niece (the one with two little girls) sent me a link to a homesteading website - it turns out the place is very close to me!! The reason she sent it is that it’s got a nice plan for a little greenhouse - I am seriously going to have to see if I can find a spot (that won’d ruffle any feathers ... no pun intended) because I would love to have a little greenhouse.

Something else I noticed - she has chicken processing classes. I think I would like to go to one of those - I wonder what she does with the livers & feet ... hmmmm? Definitely closer than my niece who is 3 hours away, although I want to help her process her chickens later this year - I know I can get feet from her & probably livers, too.
Bookmarked.
Practice saying this: “I’m not the chicken plucker, I’m the chicken plucker’s son. But I’ll pluck the chickens ‘til the chicken plucker comes!”
One of my faves has always been Jenna Woginrich. She was farmsteading before it got cool, WAY back to 2007. ;) I think you would really enjoy her books. I still need to read, ‘One Woman Farm’ and her newest memoir.
