Hi , I'm Lois, I live on a one acre mini-farm with my partner Rick.
We've been working at being self sufficient for about 5 years, this is going to be another slow year, but next year we should finally not have to buy so much of our food as I intend to get chickens and goats.

We have a donkey for organic fertilizer and about 3000 sq.ft. of garden in now.

Its all ready to plant but we've had a lot of rain. We've done some demolition (2 campers and a shed) and we'll be finishing another shed soon.

We welcome Help Exchangers from all over and anyone who wants to come to learn how to farm on a small scale, so if you're interested, please email me.

Take Care All
Lois

Hi Lois, from downunder, welcome to the forum. With so many different nationalities, we could become an off shoot of the UN. Perhaps not.
