Why I'm starting a blog

Blogging is not something I thought I would ever be interested in doing. Im not the best writer, or speller for that matter. And I'm sure my punctuation is going to be terrible, so take it easy on me!

 But with all the gardening, cooking, and other homesteading things my family and I are doing here, I wanted to share it with my friends and family. I know my sister will be especially happy!
I will be blogging about gardening, permaculture, animal husbandry, sharing recipes, and other things of the sort. Maybe even share a how-to video here and there along the way.

Over the past few years I've come to realize how much we depend on our government and big agriculture to supply us with almost everything we need to survive. This made me a little scared at first. I thought, wow, without them, we would be in serious trouble. And lets face it, the government and big ag are not in it for your best interests. Its all about more power, control and $.

 For thousands of years people have grown their own food, and hunted or raised their own protein. We have lost so much over the past couple hundred years.  So I set out to learn as much as I could about the skills we have lost. Things like organic gardening, raising animals, butchering, cooking, and everything else that goes along with homesteading.  I know I could never be 100% self reliant, but I'm gonna do the best I can for my family.
So stay tuned...
