Yes, I know it's not as easy as it sounds, or else everyone would be doing it, right? You need land. Check, I have 7 acres. You need to know how to live off of said land. Checkish... I decided to give gardening another go, and it turns out that I'm not only good at it, I really enjoy it. Well, most of it. I could do without all that nature nonsense. I'll get a bee keepers suit and everything will be OK! What else? Oh yes, you should be able to raise animals. I had a goldfish once. Raising livestock is exactly the same, isn't it? No? Well pooh. Nonetheless I am now the proud owner of chickens and ducks. It's a good start, and if by some miraculous miracle they survive, I can add rabbits and goats. As I type this out, I realize just how ridiculous this sounds. I mean seriously, a city girl buys some land in the country and suddenly she thinks she's a farmer? You betcha!! I'm going to be that lady who makes her own bread and jams, collects eggs from the coop each morning and loves life. Or at least tries!
