That’s right…I’m back! Sorry it’s been so long, but a lot has changed since the last blog. I figured I’d come back with a roar, so I finally started our YouTube channel that I should have done years ago. But hey, better late than never, right?! If you know me at all, you know I’d rather be getting dirt under my fingernails or wandering the wild places than sitting at a computer.

So, I’ve been absent from the cyber world because I started working full time for the Ohio Division Of Forestry last year. Originally I planned to downsize the farm (because there are only so many hours in a day), but I have changed my mind. I love it too much to stop doing it. I will be selling some of my bees. I would like to get down to about 15 hives or so. Maintaining 40-50 and working full time was just too much last year. I need time for growing crops and more importantly- some time to relax!

With food prices soaring and the cost of everything going up, I am more inspired than ever to produce and store food. I encourage each and every one of you to do the same. I hope to have a surplus and plenty to sell at the roadside stand this summer.

Get yourself some wilderness therapy!
