Description
We are a family homestead, we raise as much of our own food as we can while homeschooling our children. Aside from vegetables we grow; chickens, ducks, rabbits, geese, and sheep. Jason teaches drum lessons locally and we have many instruments in our home should you like to make music or learn how. Ellen recently got a kiln and is doing a little experimenting with recycling glass.
