A little garden in BIG COUNTRY.
Hi, I’m Mark. I ranch with my family in Southeast Colorado. This channel is all about liberty, self sufficiency, producing our own food and life on the land. An off grid garden irrigated by an old windmill, on a cattle ranch in the high plains. I post about one long form video and maybe a short per week. Thanks for stopping by thewindmillgarden.
