About My Blog

Have you ever had a “gut feeling” or a “prompting” to do something or found yourself at the right place, at the right time to somehow make a difference, help someone, avoid an accident, rescue an animal, meet someone, etc.? Well this blog is about just this.

This blog is about my true life adventures that range from small and meaningful to real ”life and death“ situations that happen to me on my farm as I raise chickens, milk my goats, build aquaponics systems, and breed fish.

The purpose of this farm blog is to share my farming adventures but also to help others learn. To learn” basic farming skills” or to go “a little deeper” and learn how to really listen to your “gut feelings“ or “promptings”. All we have to do is “look for the bread crumbs” to find our way through this thing called life. Really “looking“ and “listening“ to these have saved me more times than I can count. I humbly invite you to join me on my blog. I would love to share my adventures with you.
