Welcome!
Our goal has been to find ways to eat as healthy as possible. This means that we learn to grow and raise as much of our own food as possible. We started with a goal of only eating the meat that we either raised or knew who raised. To those ends, we raise chickens, turkeys and goats. We have also steadily grew the size of our garden space and the varieties grown.
To better reach our goals, my wife and I built our home on 5 acres here in the Pacific Northwest in 2015. Our property boarders my parents and is the property I grew up on. My 5 acres was part of the original hay fields and a perfect blank canvas to start with. Each summer we have added a bit more to our efforts. We started with chickens, then added a pair of goats, and then turkeys. Our garden space has grown year after year. In October of 2021 we added our much anticipated greenhouse.
I am building this blog as a way to document the things we are doing here on our hobby farm. Our goal is to learn, grow and share!
