(with my boys, husband and little sister)
I am originally from West Virginia, and my husband is originally from
Clearwater, Florida. When we met, he had no idea that he
would eventually end up on a small farm out in the country
in West Virginia, but here we are.
We have three young sons and hope to allow them to grow up with
traditional values and useful knowledge that so many kids
are not able to acquire these days in this society.
In the midst of greater tragedy than most people could ever fathom,
we have also had some blessings along to way that have allowed
us do what we currently are doing here, and you can learn more about
this and our farm's name on it's page HERE.
Although I've wanted to live the life of a homesteader for as long
as I can remember, we officially started working toward this life back
in 2007. My husband became interested in Dairy goats, and we purchased
our first dairy goats in spring of 2008. We began equine rescue in the late winter
of 2008, as well.
So our herd began, and we have since added more goats of dairy breeding and decided
to raise Nubians, Saanens and Nigerian Dwarf goats, and we were able to
purchase a very nice Jersey calf to raise occasional heifers later on.
Later came a Dexter heifer, many poultry breeds and endangered Silver Fox rabbits.
We love being able to meet people along this journey, and we are thankful
for the advice, help and friendship we've found from people who are also living a similar
lifestyle or raising animals as we are.
We would love to talk to you if you're interested in learning from us or
have been doing this longer than we and have anything we might learn
from you!

He means what He says and will do all He has promised."

As a note: I am a 15 year ova-lacto vegetarian; however, I am HUGE supporter of raising your own animals and getting away from
commercially slaughtered and raised animals. While I personally just choose to not eat meat, we raise some livestock for food
in order to provide my family with humanely raised meat and offer, sometimes, locally some options to storebought products.
If you can abstain from meat, awesome, but if not, PLEASE
BUY only human raised meats, and humanely gained eggs and dairy!
