Back to the blog

Origionally I wanted to start to farm to get back to a way of life that my Great Grandmother lived. All the skills that she had (when to plant, when to harvest, how to can, how to cook, etc) are gone with her. She didn't have a large acreage just a back yard full of produce that she ate in season and canned for the winter. Her corn was tasty and her green beans were the best. I remember many conversations about her growing up in the country and her mom and dad keeping a pig or two that they would slaughter in the fall to get them thru the winter. I have been studying permaculture since my origional post back in 08 and plan on outlining how I am going to get back to the basics in future posts.
