I do! It's at http://www.providence-acres.blogspot.com

I moved it to Wordpress but the server there is quite a bit slower. So I mainly use the blogspot server. I do have my own webspace, for my art site, and have considered setting up my farm blog there with the Wordpress software, but it would have my art site name and not the farm name, so I haven't done so. I know I can speed it up by calling the pictures from elsewhere. I did have it set up calling the pictures from my own harddrive, as we have our own server set up here, but hubby often experiements with the computer so it is down a lot and the pics don't show up then. So I had to go back to uploading them for the blog.

I may register the farm name and set up my own website for the farm too, when I have the funds. I want to get the farm up and running before I do that. We sell eggs and veggies to friends and acquaintances now but have not opened to the public. I would like to set up a farm sales booth on our corner on the weekends. It's a very busy highway. When I get that going, then I'm going to set up a farm site with it's own name.

I'm going to go look at everyone else's farm blogs! I could spend all day reading farm blogs and learning and getting great ideas! I like to see what others do with the same set up. Our farm is coming along so slowly but we both work full time in the city so it's difficult to have the time to do everything want to do.

I don't know how Suzanne has the time to write to her blog every day! I updated mine yesterday but only seem to get to it about once a month.

Handmade Jewelry

It is not really country crafting, except the part about making the rose petal beads, but it is something I like to make in my spare time and I do live in the country. lol! Anyway, I've been making jewelry for Christmas. I have directions and pics on my blog page here:

I am going to remakie the rose petal beads if I get more rose petals this year. I burned the ones I made for the blog post. :-(  I wasn't doing anything really interesting at the time, either. Just watching TV, which makes it even more frustrating.

Hi Y'all,

I am Lisa, fairly new here. I have been busy reading all the posts! I have a blog. Its about my husband and I and the off-grid, green home we are trying to build and turn into our self sufficient lifestyle. We started with just 8 acres in the mountains of NH and a hunting cabin and turned it (so far) into kind of a house but once the house is more Livable we will be moving onto the self sufficient part i.e. animals, garden etc :) Since I am originally from Boston MA, this should get more and more interesting as it gos by. The most country I have seen was a dog before that lol.

Hi you all! I have a blog called Crazy Jane and it is my yackity yacking wasting time BUT still writing space. I write about my chickens, my dog, my step-kids, my sweet-patootie, my writing, my frustration trying to find jeans long enough and that cover my belly-button – that's right tiny 12 year old retailer I WANT REAL WOMAN JEANS! like that – I take lots of pics and like to have a place to put them too.

What fun it is!

i have a new farm blog that chronicles our simple rural life on an old farm in wv with our horses, dogs, cats, deer and other critters.  i am an old soul, i guess, as i love old things, old fashioned food, old photos,  old furntiure, etc.  many of my loved ones before me were dairy farmers who were talented with training horses in vermont.  my grandfather's interviews are featured in the vermont folklife cultural center which is special for me since he is now gone but i can hear his voice anytime i want.  : )  i can only hope to be as good a 'farmer' as they were by maintaining the loving family tradition of caring for land and animals.

Hi everyone,

I dare say for those of you I met through Chickens /Road thought I'de vanished off the face of the earth. Well not quite, just around the other side of it. I moved to New Zealand in 2008 after my grandfather had left me a wonderful property in the South Island, which was turning into a real adventure but my dad was taken seriously ill and I returned to England to look after him. BUT… I'm back again and what a welcome I received after having been away for so long. Everything at Garden Cottage is blooming and up and running. The new friends I made there were out in force to give me a good time hello and all the animals and chickens (plus some new chicks) are healthy and happy…. me too!

Hope to catch up real soon and so nice to see you all again.

Joanna.

I have a blog, it's at http://www.thistlewoodmanor.typepad.com .  I write about our farm, Thistlewood Manor, the animals, the family, and alot about my quilting and sewing.  It's sporadically updated, although probably more now that we finally got high speed internet.  Woohoo!

BuckeyeGirl, I wouldn't know what to do with a BHG house & lawn if I had one!  LOL

Flatlander, cool!  I've just made a quilt for her, too, but haven't posted it yet because it's a surprise.  Shhh…

Got a country living or cooking or homesteading blog?  Post your link here and tell us about it!


I've got an urban ag blog that revolves around our daily living, urban ag, sustainable food and living, secular homeschooling, crafting, etc.  We live in a small college town of 2-4k people in Iowa and we're creating food on about 1/8 of an acre (or so my husband tells me).  My blog is all about our life.  Eventually I'll also be selling seeds, craft products, pictures (I've taken photographs in five countries and adding more every year), and angora wool from my babies.

Some day I'd love to get 40 acres and have a farm, but we've got to save up to buy the land!
