Hi all!
Just kind of wondering how many of us here are able to support ourselves on the land that we have. I don't mean without trade, barter or selling what we grow or make for a living. I guess I'm just wondering how many of us don't have "outside" jobs, outside being away from our homesteads.
We have a large house on five acres, chickens, a moderately sized garden, a pond, the beginnings of fruit trees and fruit bushes, we're talking about dairy goats and bees, we heat with wood (most of the time!), homeschool our three kiddos, and so on... but my hubby works "ta town" and makes a very good salary so I wonder if any of this would be possible withOUT that money...I of course am always dreaming about it!
Just musing on another snowy day...
Thanks!
Heidi
