A few years ago I traded the convenience (and crowds) of the city for 10 acres set in rolling hills right in the middle of nowhere. My little hobby farm is just that… a hobby. I’m not a homesteader, I don’t support myself with my little farm, but I do get a great deal of satisfaction out of being a good steward of the land, growing food for friends and family, and raising animals that contribute to my little ecosystem.

A small, but growing vineyard…

A few beehives…

A flock of chickens that provide eggs and entertainment…

A flock of guinea fowl to help keep bugs and ticks under control…

And, of course, these guys…

Every day is an adventure.

I'm not interested in a mediocre life. I'm here to kick ass or die.
