When our family moved from the city to What is now Morelliville Farms, we had a very clear vision of self-sufficiency, and a cleaner, more holistic life. What we didn’t know is how difficult it would actually be to realize that dream. We didn’t have a clue as to what it took to live a homesteading lifestyle. It took a lot of work to seek out those willing to share the lost skills we needed to incorporate into our daily lives. Everything from how to create an organic garden from raising laying hens for our eggs was completely foreign to us. Luckily, we live in a Mennonite community, and they are more than happy to help a neighbor learn and grow. And we are more than happy to pass along what we have learned. In this blog we will be focusing on what is going on around the Farm. What we are doing, what we are planning, what we are excited about, and how we are doing it. This way if any one else has a dream to own a homestead, you can learn through our mistakes and successes, instead of having to waste your own time and money, like we did.
