We are new to farmsteading as of February 2015 and excited to get started and share our adventures, trials and tribulations. So, to tell you a little about our farm and family. Dennis and I met in 2012 and I immediately told him about this dream I had about "someday" owning some land to raise a few animals and bees. I told him of my plans to have goats for milk and maybe make soap. I remember bein
g scared telling him this because I really liked him, and I was determined to go through with this dream and if he didn't agree, I wasn't sure what would happen. Lucky for me, he completely agreed and thought it was a great idea. while we talked it over, my "someday" retirement dream soon became a 5-10 year plan. As we talked and planned and read everything we could get our hands on this plan soon became a 5yr, then 2yr then six month plan! We were living in FL and had decided to move to WV and make a go of it! Well, as most people know life and best laid plans don't always line up and WV just wasn't for us. As life and fate sometimes line up just right we found a piece of property in TN, and everything worked out to allow us to be here on our property and about to start actually putting all we have read and learned into practical application. We are practicing a family approach to this adventure, right now it is Dennis, myself (Taralee), my 13 year old daughter, Devon and Dennis's most amazing parents, Dennis and Kathy. We all live together in one house and will be learning and doing this together. I hope you will follow along with us in this adventure!
