An Introduction

We're a normal every day family, living in a normal, everyday, smallish town in the south western corner of Connecticut.

From the Outside that is...

But when you look a little deeper, theres a few things that distinguish us form the rest of our town...
Were Back Yard "Farmers".

We live in a large rasied ranch with a little under 1/4 of an acre, just outside of a quaint little downtown. Our little patch of land isnt much special, but its all we've got right now...
for 10 years its sat, we use part of the land for typical family fun, fenced for our pack of crazy dogs to play, a little fire pit, lots of flowers...but nothing much beyond that.

Over the past few years weve noticed how expensive life is getting, and worse, how far away from a sustainable way of living we have slipped...and so we decided...
were going to progress to a better way of life.

This blog is going to be all about our adventures in back yard "farming"
I say "farming" because we are not true farming, we dont have the space for livestock or mass production...but we are hoping over the next few years to become more self sufficient.
