Thanks Erin – glad you found me!
Sense of Home how marvelous to have so many close sources! The more you know the creepier it is out there.
KFG you’ll have some adjusting to do for sure. Hopefully the cat will step up and help out around the garden more to make up for her leaving.
Sara my husband went to high school with Novella in Shelton so my MIL bought me that book right away when it came out. It was an interesting read. The whole time I kept thinking I had a clone somewhere since I had already started down this path. So glad you guys are doing well! I still can’t comment on your blog but I’m reading it.
Alex – we left on vacation before I had time to add the blog hop so I missed the first one! I’ll check the RSS feed, seems like it was broken once before. Ah technology. I don’t know why it is always at odds with me!

Also, I’m brain dead and apparently have forgotten how to spell and how to use proper grammar, please forgive!

Really enjoyed this post! I just finished reading Farm City by Novella Carpenter, (a lovely memoir about a woman and her boyfriend who farm/garden a vacant lot in Oakland and she raises chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigs and rabbits to eat…thought of you when I read it. We are doing well and I LOVED your idea for how to plant potatoes in coffee sacks a few posts back. I meant to go back and edit my blog to link to you and I just haven’t yet I also loved your post about going on strike; you give me so much inspiration and I have no idea how you do so much!!!

That sounds like a great source for good pastured raised meat. With my daughter soon heading off to college, I think both my husband and myself are ready to dial down the meat consumption in general. Certainly not going vegetarian (love my meat too much for that!) but I think we are ready to have more meatless meals on the menu throughout the week and to have the meat component take up less of the plate.

I’m with you, I like to know where my meat comes from and how the animals have been treated.

We buy beef from my husband’s parents or brother. Chickens from the same woman I buy eggs from, we have been to her family’s farm and agree with the way her animals are raised and fed. Still working on a milk source closer to home though.

Hi just found your site , via GNOWFLINS site. I live on the Oregon Coast and love to learn along with Northwesteners. I too am trying to learn how to turn my little city lot on the cool , windy and damp Oregon Coast into a place where our food is growing. Now I made this place sound bad and really I love it here. Have loved looking around your site, I’m sure I’ll be back! Erin from Blesstheirheart
