We began a journey to become more self sustainable and have learned to raise animals, grow our own food, preserve food and enjoy the simple things in life. Marie has always enjoyed gardening so naturally when we moved to Bailey she (with the help of J.R.) continued to grow vegetables. Unbeknownst to J.R., Marie had planned on expanding on growing food for the family. Turkeys were the first animal to appear on the homestead, followed by chickens, and rabbits. Last year Idaho Pasture Pigs joined the family. We now have protein in abundance.
