Hi There...My Husband and I recently purchased our Dream...a small farm on about 12 acres(actually quite large to me)...But very small by Iowa standards,where my honey is from! It is a crazy story how we came to get this dream land,one I`ll tell soon.But spring is almost here in beautiful western washington and I need to get going...I`m feeling a bit overwhelmed already.Lets say Happily overwhelmed.See I also have 4 children and two of them are still babies,a two year old and an 8 month old.We just got 10 baby chicks and this will be my first round of Farm animals.We have a gazillion fruit trees and berry bushes...and more.I am also brand new to this site and excited to make connections. Im gonna need alot of help and advice!
God is Great! |

Melanie! Welcome. I know others will be doing the same. I have seen some of your comments on other topics, but I am happy that you have your dream land. I know you are a little north and west of highway 2...the North Cascade highway. It is beautiful in your area. I live in Deer Park, WA which is about 16 miles north of Spokane. We love Washington state and I hope you enjoy working on your farm.

Hi Melanie, welcome from Nevada! Last year was my first round of chicks and they were a blast! Watching them chase grasshoppers is some of the best entertainment you can get. :)

Welcome to Washington. I live about 1 hour south on Hwy 9. I have a dear friend up in Deming. She is one of the Mama's at Mama's Garden, it is a CSA on the east side of hwy 9 near Acme. They have a sign out right now if you drive by that way.
When I come visiting maybe we can meet. She has 3 boys under 6.
Take good care.
