Hello yall!! this looks like a really cool forum!! I found it thru prim and rustic posted by TWIGS!! thanks!!
We live in sw michigan on a small farm which by the way is growing and growing!! LOL
We just finished taking down some tree limbs to accomadate our 2 acre organic veggie gardens, have chickens,turkeys,quinnea hens,quail, ducks, goats, horses, cats and of cource dogs. My hubby and i both were lucky and grew up on farms so love the country simple farm life we have been blessed with. We have a farmstand/primitive craft shop we are opening on the property hopefully this month, and my mom and i own and operate a small rural floral/prim shop.
Glad to meet yall!!

Welcome new ladies! I am pretty new too, but as far as I am concerned this is just the best little place on the World Wide Web!
It is so nice to have a place to share the homey things. Too bad more of the world isn't like us....wanting to garden, cook, hug and love our kids, 2 legged and 4 legged! We would have a better world.
Love and light to you all

(I've been bad at not welcoming people since I joined in the last month. . . I'm turning over a new leaf today!)
Welcome Darlene!
I don't live on a farm, but I love farmers and farms! I'm from NC, and I have a little garden spot to call my own (that my husband wants nothing to do with - so it truly is my own). And the only 'animals' I have are two little preschooler 'puppies' (boys, really, haha) and another baby on the way. I also love to cook and prepare fresh, homemade foods and enjoy the great outdoors.
I'll have to check out your ebay stuff!

THANKS for the warm welcomes!! Oh i love livin on the farm!!! It is small but, you dont need lots of land, we have 15acres only and love it, wish it was more. I am a little to part time paramedic in an ICU at our local hospital, we have had major cutbacks this past year, which goin from full to on call time has been a blessing for me!! I have put in the gardens and we opened the farmstand, which is goin to be bigger and hopefully better this year! We have no meat goats just fun ones!! LOL Ms.Rosie May is an alpine bundle of trouble and fun!! Beau is a 4h goat that we bought because he was goin to go for meat. Stopped by the feed mill and well brought him home in the back seat of my suburban!! He is toggenburg and alot of fun also. Appy is MY leapord appaloossa who is also blinded from moon blindness. NO PEA fowl as of yet even though hubby would like a couple. Then there are our kids, buster, bubba and whitney our 3 dogs!!LOL Hubby and i have been married 5 years, got married country style, at home outside in the middle of the orchard and everything was western and in the fall time. Loved it!! I do primitive crafts and do several shows in the fall and spring and just love to make things. IF you wanna peek my ebay id is chickenscratchprimitives, and our farm is "chicken Scratch" Hope to be participating in a nearby farmers market this summer. Just a small town one but should be fun. Well that is about it for me!! I am so glad to have been referred to this site!! LOVE it already!!!
THANKS for having me and off to read posts!!

Thank's for the warm welcome girls.I am not very experienced at this sort of communication so bare with me. I am the mother of three beautiful children,all of which are grown now.My oldest daughter lives very near me,is the mother of four,and shares my love for country life.My son lives in the country in south Georgia and owns his own business,is married with one son.My baby child is a daughter 22 and she moved to Florida last Sept.She is enjoying living in a city for now but I no doubt she will return to her country roots.I am single now after being married several times the longest of which was 22 years to my childrens father.I now live in the mountians of North Carolina on several acres.I work in retail sales ,love to garden, have most likley done every craft known to man.I would love to do more with the land I live on as far as food crops and fruit trees.You girls and this group of people are an inspiration to me.The last few years have been rather hard but I read about all of your accomplishmens and I feel encouraged.Thanks,Grits

Welcome to you both!

WHAT! No pea fowl, sheep or cows??
Are you kept by meat goats or dairy goats? We have a couple Jerseys but are looking into sheep and/or goat for meat.
