    I am a Country Gal through and through..I am 34 yrs old with 2 dogs.I live in a small home that has hardly no yard..I have been lucky to have a couple of flower pots .Durning the summer I love to buy as much as possible from farmer markets and local farmers which I find via the Localharvest.org website. I am in a long term relationship which the other person will only eat store bought food will not even try and doesn't want me making anything homemade. Someday I would like to learn how to make alot of stuff homemade.I would like to be able to provide my own meat and eggs/milk but not sure I could kill the animal..As much as I love venision I don't think I could kill a deer although I love to go target shooting. So to someup what and who I am ..picture a gal in a log cabin/cottage style home surrounded by woods sitting there watching all kinds of wild life grazing on her land and watching the sun rise or set with a woodburning stove to keep me warm on those cold days and night..With a 1948 ford pickup truck parked in the driveway.. Well talk to you all soon.

    Welcome, sounds a lot like me, although I live in a small town and have 3 dogs. But I love to go to the local markets and this year I've planted tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and squash. My first time with a garden, I'm anxiously waiting to see how it turns out!!

    Welcome, this is a great place!!

    Howdy and welcome from a farmer We raise our own beef but have someone else do the dirty work, it CAN be done! I was the city kid who CRIED when my dog killed a baby bunny, it's all in the mindset. With my beef I KNOW what goes into it (no hormones or drugs, just good hay/grass and a bit of corn)

    As for the shooting deer, I haven't done it YET, but we're starting to talk about hunting for ourselves, we were both raised city kids and do let others hunt our land. In the last 3 years the IDIOTS next door have started feeding the deer and they're a major nuisance and disaster to our crops, they also carry disease and ticks, we don't need that with our livestock!

    I'm a farmwife with a hubby that works a full time paying job and a full time job on the farm, I take care of the critters/house/garden full time and have more than enough to keep my hands full! We have miniature horses, cattle, chickens, turkeys, a couple of pet bunnies, cats and to many dogs!
