Hi everyone I am new here and would like to say hi and introduce myself. My name is Wendy and I live outside a small town about 30 miles west of Green Bay. My husband and I live on a small patch (less than 2 acres) of land.I live in the house I grew up in. We have goats for milk chickens for meat and eggs ducks geese and turkeys. We also have dogs and cats and cockatiels. We have 2 big gardens we also have grape vines, raspberries and we just put in a strawberry patch last summer.
I am learning to knit and crochet.
I am also the mom of 5 that all have left the nest and I have 6 grandchildren. |

Well welcome from Florida. So glad you joined the forum. I look forward to reading more from you and getting to know you.
I live only on an acre (one day I'll have many) I have bees and chickens. I raised one meat bird just for the experience. We ate it tonight (yumm) and I think I'll stick to eggs

Welcome from the Fingerlakes area of NY. We had five children too many years ago. One daughter has come back home to live. The other four are scattered, two within an hour and a half of us. We presently have 11 grands and 4 great grands.
Have fun with the forums and getting to know many helpful gals.
