Welcome to our little slice of heaven!  I’m Nancy and it was my dream to get a bit of land and see what we could do with it.  While mostly a Nebraska girl at heart, my husband and I had moved to California for a few years and were looking to move elsewhere.  We have family throughout the middle of this great country and Texas seemed like it would be (and is) a great place.

We are working on a number of projects to get us to a level of self sustainability.  Food forest, more traditional veggie garden, pasture restoration and eventually silvo pasture.  We have already gotten started with chickens and will be adding dairy sheep shortly.

While I may talk in first person about my experiences, this is a family endeavor.  We have a grown son who lives with us and another son back in Nebraska.  

In particular, Hubby Bob is the photographer who supplies the great photos on the site. He’s also built our chicken coop and run, put up fencing, mows the land, whacks the weeds, and whatever needs doing.

Because he’s behind the camera, I rarely have a picture with him in it but will endeavor to add some as time goes on. (P.S. This picture is 3 years old which explains the different hair length and color on me.)

Our goal is to transform this little plot of land into gardens, food forest and carbon rich pasture. It will take us years but we have time. I hope you enjoy the journey with us.
