Revitalizing My Dream to Live a Non-Toxic Lifestyle

Lately, I seem to have lost sight of my dreams and even began to think that it was too late; that I was too old to begin something new. Balderdash! So, for my own benefit I am now revitalizing my dream by putting it in writing...

Gardening is one of my passions, and each year I add something new -- a new vegetable, experiment with a grain,  more herbs -- all chemical free. My dream is to be able to have the room to grow enough vegetables, grains and herbs to meet the needs of my family. I want a "farmette"! What is a farmette? It's my name for a little farm, a backyard farm with room for gardens, some chickens, a goat or mini-cow -- organic food. I don't need acres of land or a big house. A cabin and small barn (or large shed) on one half or even a third of an acre will do. I have it all pictured in my mind. This is my dream and it will happen!

Meanwhile, I continue to read Mother Earth News and plan my homesteading experience...
