Jessica and I have decided to become farmers. We actually decided this a long time ago so this is probably old news to you..but I thought I would explain why we have chosen this path.
Some people are born into farming. They spend their childhood farming and continue farming into their golden years. Some people have never been to a farm but often long for the day when they can spend their time in a garden or playing with chickens. Some people just want to support their family in a way that works for them and is a more acceptable lifestyle.
Our issues with modern society and government controlled food supply is what fuels our want to be farmers. We love the peacefulness of our secluded land and the opportunity to spend our time together as a family.
We have a small farm in West Virginia where we are currently building our house. We have chickens and goats and this year we will add pigs. We are planting a 3,200 square foot bio-intensive market garden and hope to successfully provide our friends and family with most of their vegetable needs.
This blog will expand as the season gets closer and we will add a lot of photos. In the meantime all are welcome to talk to us if you are interested in becoming more self sufficient or come up for a visit.
See you soon.
