Hi everyone! I am so happy to find you all! I just received MaryJane's book, "for the farmgirl in all of us" and I love it! My entire life has been spent in a city (Buffalo, NY) or suburbia. I loved the trips we would take to my aunt's farm in PA when I was a kid. I never wanted to leave. I loved waking up to the sound of the cows and the sheep. So much nicer than the annoying buzz I wake up to now. I always thought that the freshest air you could breath in included the smell of horse and cow manure (my friends thought I was weird). I wanted to live on a farm as far back as I can remember. Unfortunately I haven't gotten there yet. I am on my way though. We recently bought a house on an acre of land. Most of the land is a mountain filled with huge rocks and woods but I do have a small garden and we have a couple of chickens! I love my chickens and can't wait to get more! It's a good start. It's so good to find such a community as this! Karen in New York
i agree with you. i'm grateful to have found a place with so many like-minded people.
we have chickens too-but my husband raises exhibition bantams so we have many, MANY chickens. but they are beautiful and we've met some amazing people all over the country through them.
welcome again-looking forward to getting to know you.
talk to you soon- karen
