Hey there! Thanks for liking my entry about Great Lakes Gardening. Looks like you have a lot of great info here. Maybe it’ll help me out. 🙂
What a nice article. My only question is how you pay bills? Do you also have to work outside the farm, do you sell products from the farm or is there something else? I’m not trying to be nosy; I’m wondering if it’s possible to stay afloat financially with a small sustainable farm.
Hi Peggy! Farming is my passion but not my source of income. I wish it was all I had to do to make a living. Maybe some day!
It’s nice to read your story! Good for you for following a dream and making it happen.
Thanks so much Dan and Mindy for sharing your story on our blog. We have had so many great comments about your efforts. Happy Farming!
Jim and Mary
Wishing you and your family great sucess with your farm all its wonderful produce! Everything in life start with a seed! 🙂
Thanks for liking my post! I baby sit the brood of chickens often, so hopefully you’ll see some more fowl related material on the ole’ fashion blog. 😛

We’ve kept chickens in the past, but as the weasels, coyotes, foxes and dogs have thinned the brood, that’s over and done with.
We do buy eggs from the neighbor down the road who keeps them and there’s nothing like farm fresh cackleberries, henfruits, or chicken missles sizzling in the pan in the morning.

Oh, my, how lovely. I’m a very lazy gardener and not used to keeping animals–but I do get the appeal of all of this, not least of all as a tremendous resource for fresh and home-grown foods. Surprisingly tempting!
