Greetings from North Caolina, US
« on: December 22, 2007, 05:17:18 pm »
Hello Everyone,  This looks like a very nice site you have going and I'm looking forward to reading about all the endeavors.  Bob and I have a small farm in the north central portion of North Carolina where we raise 19 sheep for fiber - Corriedale, Dorset & Jacob; dairy goats - 2 Alpine and 8 Nigerian Dwarf; 2 llamas watch over the goats; 2 Angora bunnies and various chickens for eggs,  except they have all stopped laying!  I taught myself to spin last winter and just recently bought an older floor loom so am learning to weave.  I also make goat's milk soap that I sold with my handspun at a farmer's market last season.  I also make cheese  for our own use.  In spite of being in a very severe drought I am still hoping to get the garden up and really running this next year; especially important will be developing a grey water system.  Our place hasn't much infrastructure aside from the house so we have been busy putting in electric perimeter fencing over the last 2 years and making shelters both permanent and portable.  Thanks for letting me join in!

Hi Liese

All I can say is Wow! Is there anything you can't do? Looking forward to lots of tips from you and learning how things differ 'over there'

Welcome
