We love hearing from you, so here is your chance. Introduce yourself and tell us what makes you selfsufficient 'ish'. Go on don't be shy, we welcome one and all. You can also tell us how you heard about us if you like.

Hi Emma,
I'm in the Netherlands (near Utrecht), but don't know anyone actually living self sufficient here. So can't help you there, I'm afraid. I've just got an allotment and try to grow some of my own veg and fruit. If there's anything you'd like to ask, fire away. I'm not sure I'll know the answer, though.

Regards, Jandra

I loved Utrecht - it was my favourite place in the Netherlands and much better for shopping than Amsterdam.

Oops sorry I should be saying hello and welcome to Eccentric Emma! Hi! Are you thinking of moving there?

Hi Emma. Welcome to the forum from downunder. I was in Holland in 1963. We stayed in Amsterdam and went to see the tulips at the Keukenhof Gardens. One of the greatest sites I have seen for flowers.

Hello to Kent from Canada.

I'm trying to be self-sufficient-ish on one acre, have a donkey, getting chickens soon and maybe 2 goats.

Good luck with your ventures

Lois
