Just an Ol' country boy at heart and sick of the rat race. I'm in in the corporate world. I needed something to bring me back to my roots besides my garden. My grandparents had chickens while I was growing up and had a huge mini farm setting so anytime I had a chance to help and learn I was always at their home. I learned so many homesteading things from them....I wish they were around to see what they taught me. I love the more simple life with hard work and reaping the rewards of it with eggs, veggies and homemade items.
