I am so excited to become a part of such a great "Family".
I'll go ahead and you a little about myself now. Weeelllll I am a true farm girl born and bred. On and off while growing up, married a dairy farmer/ cowboy when I was 14, been married 31 years (you do the math).I have 2 farmers daughters and 3 Gkids. I have rode horses most of my life, milked cows done it all.
I now raise Nubian dairy goats and will have my first taste of goat milking in Feb, and I am really looking forward to that.I plan to make cheese and butter and soap.
I garden, sew, knit, crochet, quilt, etc,etc,but I have to play nurse for a living for now and plan to play fulltime farm girl soon.
Looking forward to chatting with you guys,
Becky

WElcome Becky!!! You will just love it here....you will love having fresh goat milk. I milked goats for years (mostly Saanens) before I got my cow. Milking is such a fun part of life. I would sure miss it if I didn't have some sort of dairy animal in my life!
It will be fun to get to know you here!!!

Hi Becky,
I have some friends that run an organic farm here in Louisiana. Dawn has goats & I buy my goat milk from her to make Kefir...love it. Someone else here in the area does the cheeses...what a gift! All the best to you.
Welcome to this wonderful farmgirl gatherin' place!

Thanks so much to all of you. I haven't had this much fun in forever. I am suddenly so into living well or simple or green or what ever you want to call it and this has just pumped me up.
When I was first married at age 14, LOL, I had to wash diapers on a wringer washer, cook 3 big meals each day for the sawmillers, harvest and can from a HUGE garden and orchards, (I'M talking pick-up truck loads of corn and 8 bushels of green beans at a time)etc,etc, I cried many a day. But, Oh what I would give to have that life again and not have to punch a clock, just live off the land. We really do alot of the same things that we used to but on a smaller scale. It is very ironic how up til about a year ago I couldn't get enough material things in my life like the Jaguar in my driveway (I love it but I would trade it for a good work horse for the garden in a heartbeat. I'm not sure what happened in my mind maybe I finally grew up!!
Any way thanks again for feeding my soul,
Many Hugs,
Becky
