A bit about me:: I live on 9 acres of land in northern Minnesota and I want to transform my property into a 100% homegrown and self sufficient farm. Fruit, vegetables, chickens, goats, and wind power. We have already converted to an outdoor wood stove from propane. I am new to homegrown.org but this will be my third season gardening and I want to plan, plan, plan as much as I can to get prepared for the season and I want to learn as much as I can.

Latest greatest meal cooked at home:: All Natural Hamburgers, homegrown pontiac red potatoes and green beans...YUM!

Currently reading:: Run like a Mother

Currently listening to:: Willie Nelson on FarmAid 2010...such an inspiration

My latest DIY project:: Harvesting and preserving the gold from my garden. I love canning tomatoes and making salsa, and red sauce. I love pasta and anything Italian.
