Hello all! I never introduced myself, and to be honest it's kind of awkward not doing this in person. 
We live in the deep corner of SW Virginia (or as some have coined it Viginessee, since we're so close to the Tennessee line). We moved to this farm 5 years ago. At the time we were renting and had left the "city" to pursue other things.
When we moved, my husband said the following:
- We will never own a farm. (We now own this farm.)
- We will never be farmers. (We now have cows and chickens with constant conversations about adding more.)
- We will never own 10 acres. Who can afford it? What would we do with it? (The farm came with 10 acres.)
- We will never have chickens...
Our first 6 hens he found for free on Craigslist that same year.
We now have 4 cows, 14 laying hens, 10 chicks (6 of which might be silver laced Wyandotte), 4 silkies, 2 meat birds, and 1 Bresse rooster. My laying hens include barnyard mixes, buff orpington, barnevelder, lavender orpington, and Bresse.
So much for not being farmers!
