Welcome friends, I am just trying to figure this all out and where I am in the journey. Let me introduce myself. I am a wife, mother, gardener, and I want to be a farmer. I grew up in the country on a small dairy farm in southeastern Michigan. As many in our area the family farm didn't make it to my generation. Speed ahead to many years later I still find the need to get my hands in the dirt and grow ALL the things.
Over the past 18 years I have had all types of garden seasons on my small 1/4 acer lot. Some have been beautiful and bountiful others have been a hot weedy mess. As I reflect this is much the way the journey of life has been. So as I am harvesting the last of my summer 2021 garden and trying to push my limits with Mother Nature for trying my hand with fall gardening I would like to invite you to follow along with me. I am not an expert on anything just gal who wants to grow, harvest, preserve and cook ALL the things for my loved ones.
I hope to inspire others to grow what you can, source as local as you are able to try to live a healthier more sustainable life. Join me on this journey to learn, grow, cook and enjoy the simple pleasures a few seeds, dirt, water and sunshine will give. I still have a lot to learn. It isn't going to be easy but it is so worth the effort!
Best of health, lets get started!
