Herbwifemama Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I was led here by a link on Tammy's Recipes site. She was discussing bulk buying. I'm not new to any of the topics discussed on this site. I have a great interest in self sufficient living, prepping, all of it. I need some help on the frugal part. We've got two girlies ages 5 and 10 months, and they eat a ton! What else? We live in the middle of the city on what's becoming an urban homestead. I have a garden, and I plan to expand it every year til I'm maximizing our yard space. Hope for bees, chickens, a guard dog for the flocks in the future, and if it was legal, a goat or two (chickens are legal, goats are not). There's lots more that I have in common, but I"ve learned to keep these intros short. If you have any questions, just ask. Link to comment

Ambergris Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Welcome, herbwifemama. Is that a Mary Cassat painting? Link to comment
Herbwifemama Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Yup, that is "Mother Berthe Holding Her Baby". I love the impressionists, and I love the Mother/Baby subjects Cassatt painted. Link to comment

Cat Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Glad to have you here! I'm always interested in hearing about how people who live in cities incorporate "simple ways" into their lifestyle. It can be a challenge. Have you found our "Urban Homesteading" forum yet? Welcome home!!! Link to comment

Welcome home!!! Yes I did, I've looked around pretty thoroughly. Now, to get into a couple of the private forums... Oh, and I noticed you were from IN. I'm in central IN. Link to comment
LindaLou Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Herbwifemama; Welcome. I think you will love it here. Not only will you find a lot of really useful information but a bunch of fun, caring people too. Like you, I live in the middle of a city and am trying to hack out my urban homestead with what I have. I can't wait to seeing more posts from you. Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Have you tried for Nigerian DWARF goats as "pets" in the city. Some years back, the city of Seattle declared them legal. They're getting more popular and only come up to knee high. But they are a dairy breed...proportionately less but still milk and good percentage of cream.

Herbwifemama Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 I'll have to check out the laws, and maybe just by trial and error. First, we need to get the legal bees and chickens. Link to comment
