Hey all! I figured I’d drop in an introduce us again since it’s been a while and I’ve gotten some new followers. We’re almost to 500 followers!!! Which ik ik not a huge deal… but I’m excited and each of you here means a lot to us!!! We mostly neglect this page but I plan to be better about posting and updates going forward.
Anywhooo- I’m Erika, and let’s be real, CAA wouldn’t be possible with out my amazing hubs, Steve! He’s the muscle behind any and every crazy idea I come up with 🤪 We have lived on this beautiful chunk of land since 2021 and grow more and more each year. I call it “first generation farming” because well, even though our production is small scale, we both came from the city. No family farm that we have learned from; Just him and I diving into projects, learning on the way and becoming more efficient as we go. All while working and raising our two beautiful children!!
The goal is to be as self sufficient as possible and utilize the land we were blessed with. Hunting foraging, gardening, larger scale crops like corn and hay are in the works and of course, my favorite part, the animals! We have chickens, turkey, sheep, rabbits, two dogs and barn kitties. Oh and now 2 guinea pigs for our oldest kiddo. The English lops are mostly just a fun project for me but everything has its purpose be it showing the elops, fruit/veggies, food for the livestock, meat, eggs, compost, wool, a dog to protect them all and cats to manage critters- and we’re thankful for all of it.
If you got though all of this, THANK YOU! We truly appreciate you being here along for the ride and the support! Keep following along for more- garden is in the works, some elop litters, and lambing in the fall just to name a few!!!
& happy Mother’s Day to all those mammas out there!
