Hi Everybody!
I have a friend that is a Farmgirl and have been hearing about all the fun she's having on here so I just had to join!
I currently live in a suburb of Portland Oregon with my younger sister and dog. I'm a wonderful mixture of ethnicities but mostly Portuguese. I spent the best part of my childhood on a farm on the coast of California and am eager to finish my degree and get some land of my own! I'm studying accounting and taxes and would love to learn a new language (or two...or four!) I love the idea of making things for myself vs buying from a megastore and like to learn about how to live earth friendly. I look forward to improving my sewing, knitting, and general crafting skills. Cooking with new and exotic foods is exciting too! I think that having chickens would be fun and also love French Bulldogs. My favorite craft right now is origami and my favorite treat to make is Malasadas (Portuguese donuts.)
I look forward to chatting about all the ways of Farmgirl living!

Welcome to the group Karla! So glad you could join us, you sound like a true Farmgirl! I tried a little origami when my oldest son (now 25) was younger. I just didn't have the talent though. A very kind elderly gentlemen made my son a whooping crane out of paper and my son kept it for years.
Best of luck finishing up your degree! Again, welcome, welcome!

Welcome Karla, You have found the right site to help cultivate your "farmgirl" skills. There's plenty of advice here--real down-to-earth advice. I like to avoid the mega-stores as well. I try to buy from local growers and artisans--you get much better quality.

I am so proud of Karla, she has already made her own laundry soap, since being inspired by Farmgirls.
