5/21/14 And we're off on the new adventure of farm life!

So we are a fairly adventurous, religious, eccentric family. Our family consists of Mr. B, Mom Satt, CC, BIP boy, Ace, Camo Tutu, Girly Girl, and Little Bear. We recently moved onto a farm in order to experience animals, work, and how the 'other half' lives.  And because the kids have always begged for animals and Mom Satt's constant reply has been, 'when the last kid is potty trained then we'll talk about me cleaning up after something else.'  Well the unattainable has just about happened Little Bear is about half way there to the wonderful land of Underwear Utopia. So one day, led by the Ring Leader herself - CC, the kids trapped Mom Satt into the animal council.
Well hopefully they have learned a lesson about being careful what they ask for because not only are they getting animals for each to take care of (including but not limited to: rabbits, laying chickens, meat chickens, turkeys, dairy goats and kids, lambs, and maaaayyybe a horse or pig) they also get the extra grand prize of an orchard (ok, well its only 5 fruit trees), vegetable garden, 21 container garden, herb garden, pond with fish and all the maintenance that goes with them.
So today to make our adventure complete Mr. B announced we are produce everything we can ourselves. Mom Satt is only allowed to buy food at the grocery store that cannot be made from what is on our farm and has only one ingredient on its ingredient list! In order to have time to take advantage of this adventure we are taking a summer break from all outside activities to focus on farm life! So here we go! Hang on to your Homesteaders' Club here comes Satterfarm!
