Watch the city girl farm.... and laugh!

Hellllllloooooooooooo!

Welcome from rural New Brunswick Canada! I will be your hostess, Ohiken. Let me tell you how I came to be here.

I grew up in the city, well, that's a relative term. It is technically a city, but acts more like a small town. Having thought I grew out of the small town, I moved to be bigger city to go to university, and then changed universities and moved to an even bigger city. While working on my education, and early career, I picked up a husband, (better than the standard model, but still doesn't know the location of the laundry basket). We reproduced as expected, welcomed the Girling and priorities. We changed our lifestyle to accommodate a stay at home parent. We focused on our place on the planet, our carbon footprint, we recycled, we used cloth, we ate whole foods, we budgeted. This wasn't good enough, it got worse after the birth of our second child, the Boyling. We decided not only would living in a shack in the woods be better than one more minute of financial stress, but our children deserved a childhood with organic food and fresh air.

So, we moved across the country from Big City Ontario to Rural New Brunswick. Bought an old house on 20 odd acres. We are striving for a more self sufficient life, raising our own food and living off the land. We're not there yet ;) but we're trying.

Stay tuned for stories from our first year, and current dramas, successes and hilarious failures!
