Howdy from Tennessee, USA

Hello all!

I imagine (and hope) that I'll have lots of questions and discussions in the future as I attempt to buy, rehabilitate and make self-sufficientish use of a very small, old farm in East Tennessee.

I'm currently a Nine-to-fiver, but when I go home I spend time poking in the woods, gathering herbs, learning about native plants, growing gardens with my husband, keeping bees with my parents, and dreaming of a future full of farm animals, handmade cheese, homespun yarn, hand-hewn stone and everything in between.

I'm pretty much a luddite girl living a techie existence . . . very strange. Going to work at a computer and going home to the woods. And glad to be in an online community of self-sufficientish-ers with such an international reach--all us Americans aren't xenophobic warmongerers :)

Nice to meet everyone!

Hi and welcome - I like poking in the woods too!

We've always suspected that... Despite official efforts to make us believe the opposite!

Welcome to the ishers, Eva. You are planning all those things that I'm eventually hoping to do, too - made a start on some of it. But this blimming job gets in the way... And I'm still looking for the right kind of place, too!
