I serve in the Relief Society presidency with Linda Marvel, she lives across the street from me. She has a homestead or small farm about 1 and 1/2 acres, she has fruit trees, large vegtable gardens, a green house, chickens and she just purchased to baby goats to milk when they are older. We went over in the morning of Sept 10, 2010. She invited us to come and taste her cold goats milk and talk to Sharae about what it takes to run a small farm. Joe and Sharae are considering purchasing 2 and 1/2 acres of land in Idaho and having a small farm with similar things like Linda. Linda gave Sharae some great advice how to get started and what to do. Thanks Linda.
It was funny Bob her husband held a chicken for the kids to pet, Ian would not pet it and kept saying "I want to go inside". Asher was a little more adventurous and was climbing up the goats pen. He even let the goats eat out of his hand. I think he enjoyed it. Linda told Sharae that living outdoors and taking care of a farm is really good for kids. Well, we will see how Ian likes it. Sharae is determined to try this even though it is all Joe's idea.
