Welcome to our reality

So where to begin? We're a couple that somehow made the crazy choice to go from city living to life on the farm 15 years ago and never looked back. Our families all think we're insane and call us the Amish branch of the family when refering to us to others. We just smile and wink, knowing that they will never understand the satisfaction we have in doing it ourselves. There's nothing better than home grown veggies and home grown beef, and I've got two freezers full at the moment to prove it!

The biggest hurdle facing us at the moment is refinancing at a locked in rate, seems the banks don't finance farms (now isn't that an interesting situation!) All I can say is that if one day there is no food for your table don't blame the farmers, blame the banks!

As you can already probably tell I tend to ramble, so anyone reading stay tuned for all future editions as you never know WHAT you'll find here, it could be anything from an electric bill rant to a funny mother in law story (ohh, I've got some doozies there!)

We raise beef, miniature horses, hay, corn, a few chickens and an occasional lamb or two, we also have a full family of 4 legged critters that keep us on our toes.

Hubby works full time and keeps the equiptment in running order, I run the farm full time and work a bit online doing pay to read sites (yes the do pay!), a bit of ebay and more.

More to come!
