In May 2011, we moved from the city to 20 wooded acres in the middle of nowhere. We had a desire to grow our own food and get back to a simpler way of living, and city life just wasn't cutting it. We finally took the plunge and haven't looked back.
We started this blog as a way to chronicle our successes and failures and show people how great homesteading can be. If you are living in the city dreaming of a home in the country, we hope you can get some inspiration from us to go for it and live the life you've imagined!
We love our homestead and are happiest exploring the woods, working on the house, tending to the garden, collecting eggs from our chickens and guineas, and playing with our many animals. Take a look around and enjoy your stay. We're happy you're here!
Feel free to contact us at tdbarani@yahoo.com if you have any questions or need advice on how to get started on your homestead.

I've had a great time looking back through a lot of your posts! Very inspirational, beautiful, and fun! Thanks for sharing!

DeleteThank you so much for visiting my blog and for your very kind comment. I hope you will visit often. I just signed on to follow your blog and please feel free to do the same. Your blog is very sweet and my kind of living.
ReplyDeleteHey guys! I found your site through Backyard Farming Connection and it seems that our stories and farms have a lot similarities. Me and my boyfriend moved from the city to Jefferson County, MO in 2011 to start homesteading and farming. It's so great to see another young couple transitioning from the city to the county and starting homesteading. It's one of the best decisions we've ever made. Your farm and blog look great, can't wait to read more posts in the future! -Autumn
ReplyDeleteI've had a country soul all my life, and I finally made it out of the city! Love your blog and following your adventures. <3
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I recently moved from the city to an acre and a half and I have recently decided...we need more room!! Hoping to move "way out into the country" sometime in the not-so-distant future! :)
ReplyDeleteDon't you feel so incredibly happy (and very rich) since you moved to the country? I find living in the country in northern B.C., Canada that we don't have much money but life is so good. Waking up each morning to the quietness, working in the woods, cutting trees for our wood furnace, being out in the fresh air every day, There is nothing like living in the country. You either love it madly!!!! or you hate it.
ReplyDeleteYou said it perfectly, Heather! We feel so very happy out here in the woods. We wouldn't have it any other way :)
DeleteSonja sent me over and I'm glad she did. You have a beautiful space on the web, here. May you prosper where you have planted.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Carol! I'm glad you came over from Sonja's site. I appreciate the sweet comment :)
