I'm a mom of one and live in rural Kansas. We raise free range chickens, have raised turkeys in the past and grow our own vegetables. This year I've grown even more motivated to become more self sustaining and eat locally. While I love the ideas I tend to jump into things wholeheartedly and end up giving up because it's not doable all at once. I'm working on bringing these ideas into my everyday life and balance to make them long term and sustainable pieces of our lives.
