Well, not quite. Right now we are hopeful farmers. Our family is made up of mom Lexi, dad Chris, and our three daughters. Maddie is 7, Emily is 4 and Lauren is 2. We have another baby on the way sometime in May. Our "barnyard" consists of a Holland Lop rabbit named Natalie and a very lazy beagle named Jack.
We live in a suburb of Chicago and Milwaukee that is actually the fourth-largest city in Wisconsin. But we live a suburban life rather than a big city one. We have a nice yard, where we garden every year. That's the closest we get to actual farming.
But, oh, we have big farm dreams. We long for acres of land and a homestead where we can raise or grow our own food and life a self-sufficient life. We don't know if our dream homestead is in God's plan for our lives, but we read, and learn, and prepare just in case. Even if we never get our farm, there are lots of things we can do in our suburban house to become more self sufficient. We're trying to learn to do those things as we wait on the Lord.
We'd love to have you join us on our journey. Welcome to the Farm!!
