Happy Easter!

This blog is one of the steps we are taking to be more self-sustaining. We’re glad you are along for the ride! Rachel is a freelance editor and writer. Chris is a millwright as well as an expert in many of their fields like hydraulics, snow plows, auto mechanics,...We would prefer to live simply and spend every day together. Our children are 8th grade to early college, as two boys and two girls. We have gardened, hunted, canned, and created our whole life. We began raising chickens and other barnyard fowl. 2021 brought us to some local farmers markets. This blog covers all sorts of aspects of our life, but often relate directly to Homesteading.
