What kind of HOMEGROWN are you?: Fill in the Blank

Fill in the blank:: Four retired women who live in the middle of the Utah desert.

A bit about me:: We are all retired (2 were career cops), who are reinventing our lives on our little 10 acres in the middle of the SW Utah desert. We raise Certified Organic produce and also raise lambs for Saudi students and other locals. Most recently, we're raising goats for milk and cheese, with a full cheese project in the planning stages.

Latest greatest meal cooked at home:: Mom and Bev made stuffed pork chops, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn and garlic cheese biscuits.

Currently reading:: American Farmstead Cheese

Currently listening to:: CNN

My latest DIY project:: Installing 2 20x52 double covered hoop houses as well as extending electric and water service. This includes relocating the main service/meter panel, and trenching nearly 300 feet at least 24 and sometimes 30 inches deep.

How did you find HOMEGROWN.org?: Boulder Belt Eco Farm

Web site I recommend:: http://fourcountrygals.com
