Keepin' It Farmy
My husband Jeff has a full time job as a civil engineer and I (Alicia) am a stay at home mom. We have been slowly becoming more self sufficient over the past few years and have grown increasingly more aware of what we are feeding our children. We believe it is important to teach our boys where their food comes from and to learn basic life skills. We do nearly everything together as a family and enjoy the adventure of continuously working and educating our minds to further better our family and to learn vital skills that are becoming forgotten from previous generations.
