I turn 50 this year and have my dream. My husband and I purchased minature farm animals from all over, and started a traveling petting zoo. We rent ourselves out for any event; birthday parties, fairs, company parties, and whatever else comes along. It's fun and entertaining for people of all ages-we live on five acres...I was not raised on a farm, but have one that is growing by the day!
yay! Another Utah gal!! I am not sure where Herriman is...I am in Manti. The petting zoo sounds like so much fun. There was one like what you describe you do in Calif in the area where I used to live. They would be set up alot of times at festivals and all too...my kids loved it even though we had much the same animals at home!
Jenny in Utah The best things in life arn't things!
Mollie, it would be great to have an extended family to help....but I don't....
This month's BACKWOODS HOME MAGAZINE has a whole section on WOMEN who are homesteaders....some doing it alone some with husbands.....it's a great read and very inspiring!
You can bury a lot of troubles digging in the dirt!
