Blue Viola Farm

Farming is in my dna....my dad grew up on a farm, and his folks farmed through the industrial revolution. My mom grew up in the suburbs but her folks lived in a very self-sufficient way and she taught me the joys of cooking from scratch. I love exploring the old ways and discovered, in the process, eating gourmet foods on a shoestring and reclaiming my family's health...and my own...in the process. This is suburban homesteading at its finest.

Hubby and I live on a four acre farmlet smack in the middle of suburbia. We are happily zoned for critters and take full advantage of this with chickens, goats, and pigs.
