Born in IL, lived 22 years in Anchorage AK, moved to MN in 2002, here ever since. We have a small hobby farm and do a lot of gardening and spending time outside, as well as watching movies and working on our old house getting it updated. We enjoy having chickens and supporting our farmer neighbors and family any way we can. Whether it is giving garden scraps or feed for the flock, repairing a coop or fencing, giving away eggs to anyone who asks, sharing the latest batch of chicks, the garden's extras, or firewood, a handful of nails, or jar of pickles.....You name it, the people here do it for us, and we do it for them!
