Hello everyone, My name is Victoria. My husband and I bought our dream farm last year and I've been walking on cloud nine ever since. It is 27 acres with 2 ponds and a beautiful cottage with a touch of city, a wonderful inground pool in the back. We have 11 chickens, 7 ducks (3 females are currently sitting on nest so that number should change soon), 2 rabbits, 1 lazy hound dog, 1 crazy cat and recently added a dozen guineas. I'm looking for a purebred Jersey now. This year we put in a small fruit orchard and berry patch. I've been busy picking black berries this week and should start picking blue berries in a couple of weeks. I am so excited to have found MaryJanes Farm. This fall I'm hoping to get set up for honey bees (thanks to the little idea MJF put in my head). I'm looking forward to sharing the farm experience with everyone.
Begin each morning with a song in your heart. |

Hi Victoria! We've started our farm in the last year too, and I'm new to this forum as well. Can't wait to hear about your Jersey, we'd love to get one someday. So far we have chickens and sheep. Your place sounds beautiful!

I promise as soon as I figure out this posting thing I will get some pictures posted. We hosted my son's wedding here in October and have some great pictures. The cottage needs some TLC and that is our project this summer. But it's still my paradise.
Begin each morning with a song in your heart. |

Hello, Victoria! Where in East Texas are you? You can email me off topic if you want. My son and his family are on 10 acres near Greenville.
I live in the "city"! But am enjoying reading about all this country living.
