Homesteading--the beginning!

We're moving towards a more self-sustainable living--it's a goal anyways. At this point we are working on paying off debt (so we can afford to live of the husband's income alone). We're starting small and working towards what we can afford at the time. Where we are today is a testament to God's grace!

Newest members of our small homestead:
They are actually a bit older now (a little over two weeks) and are feathering out nicely. We have barred rocks and buff orpingtons. Their primary purpose is egg-laying, but they are for eating as well. We'll hold off though until they put on more weight, I'm not in the mood for Chicken Nuggets :)
