Hello! My name is Sandy and I'm a brand new Farmgirl Sister living in the Lone Star State. I am working on several merit badges to learn how to be more self-sufficient. I would like to decrease my dependency on stores! I currently live in an apartment while I look for a few acres for backyard farming.

Krista,
I wish I had been a little more prepared too. I am a little worried that the stores will not restock and I will be forever behind. Thank you for the encouragement on the badges. I'm very excited about them.

Laura,
I'm a little intimidated by gardening. I wish that is something I had planned for this year.

You go girl and leave us all in awe! I live in wild wonderful West Virginia---and those of us who aren't big rednecks rock for sure. LOL.

Krista, I'm starting with Blogging, Going Green, Get It Together, Emergency Preparedness, and Knitting if my supplies ever show up. Package got lost in the mail! I need to work on Get It Together because I do not have a proper kitchen for cooking from scratch.

Hi Sandy and welcome to our MJF! I just saw your other post about badges before I saw this one so I will just say welcome again and we are glad to have you! There are lots of wonderful Farmgirls from the Lone Star State and you are amongst lots of friends over there. Good luck with your search for a place to start some backyard farming. It sounds exciting! Do you have some plans in mind when you get some land?
