How I did it: WE worked together as a family and it was great. However, my arthritis has made it clear that no matter how much I love it it is not really a good thing for me. I have had to admit that it is time to think smaller and we have recently relocated and are looking for a place to call home.

Lessons & tips: I worked with Dairy goats (Nubians) ,Fibre goats (cashmeres and angoras) and chickens,geese,ducks and horses. I am more than willing to share my experiences and lessons with anyone with questions.

Resources: The Encyclopedia of Country Living. We came to call this the bible of farming. Also Mother Earth News and Country Living magazines.
