This is all very new to me!
I live in Connecticut, in a town that used to be all farms, and is now a suburb. My 12-year-old daughter (my youngest) has been part of a local farm program for the past couple of years, and every month gets more dedicated. It's hard not to be enthusiastic, and I was thrilled when I found this site. I want to take baby steps, and MaryJane's philosophy seems a great place to start.

Welcome, Laura! This is certainly the best place to 'hang out' and make friends. Your daughter being involved in farm stuff may just be the catalyst to a lifestyle for you. My kids showed animals for 4H....they're out of school now....and I still have about 60 farm animals!
One of the best compliments from one of my daughters: "Moma, you smell good...like dirt." |

Welcome Laura! Baby steps is a fab idea tbh. Im a great one at jumping in with both feet and then sinking-hehe:)
So much to do, so little time :) |

I wish I had chickens, that would make my name make sense! But I pulled it from my street name which is spelled like the farm animal but is named after an Indian whom settlers recorded as "Chi-ken." It's an old Indian trail -- all rocks and woods. We do get wild turkeys roaming through, but no chickens. |
