Let the adventure begin...

So we've decided to start homesteading. Why not, right? We've got the land, we can supply our own food, teach our girls how things get to the table, have a healthier lifestyle and hopefully be self sustaining. Sounds good on paper, so here we go.

We have 2 young Nubian does that will be providing us with milk in spring of 2010, as well as kids to grow our herd or sell. The chickens are on the way, to arrive next week so we'll have eggs in the fall of this year. The Country Living Grain Mill is set up and grinding our flour, coffee, and corn to go into the home cooked breads, cakes and even pasta. The herbs are sprouting, and the garden is soon to be replanted. 

What's next? Geese for weeding? Bees for honey and pollination? Solar panels for clean energy? Who knows, but we'll keep you posted...
