We are sustainable gardeners with chickens, a Jersey milking cow about to calf, and 1 fresian cross year old calf that we are training to be another milking cow.I am passionate about growing Strawberries, multiplying leeks and Super foods like Jerusalem artichokes and Yacons, With fresh vegetables the whole year round, milk, and eggs, their is not much else that we need. I am also passionate about all cultured foods and kefir grains, kombucha, caspian sea yoghurt. I love herbs and seed saving.
