Homestead forum diaspora

We grow most of our own food and have some animals as pets, some as food.  Some are just a nuisance maybe.  We've been at it for almost 11 years, but we both work at salaried jobs too.  We're interested in seeing what you folks are up to as you seem a little different from some homesteading sites. 

homesteading for decades, built our current place on 50 acres in 1984 earth sheltered, pv powered, native materials...mighty inexpensively.  added a strawbale studion in 1994, which we've now turned into a cabin.  I've built log cabins, done stone work, shod horses, worked as an engineer.  vietnam vet, i came back to the world in march of 1971.

wife is a wholistic therapist and a wonderful partner.

Ol' treehuggin' hippiechick living in the shiny buckle of the bible belt. Hidin' out with my family in a log cabin deep in bigfoot-infested wilderness...just the way we like it.
