I do some canning and freezing, but what I don’t do – pickling, because my husband and family won’t eat them. Darn.

Jenn, this is wonderful news! I go away for a month and I find out you’re transplanting to Vermont!

The jarred peppers would vanish in one day here (got any left) and I love your enthusiasm for wanting to really live off your land.

How inspiring! I love the goals you have set and a bit jealous, too. Canning is one of those areas that has always scared me, but perhaps you’ll have some tips in the future. And yoghurt and cheese making sounds fantastic. I can’t wait to see the results.
Great picture of you and your puppy, but the way.

First of all, congratulations on the Vermont adventure! I hope everything goes according to plan. Goats and sheep, really? Wow, I am so impressed! Blogging has changed me a lot, too. I now appreciate more the food and culture I grew up with and have learned a lot about other people’s food and culture as well, and that has no price tag.

Good for you!
I do want to try my hand at pickling too. Pepino is adorable, Wilson sends his regards.

Congrats on the whole Vermont thing. That is totally my dream come true. I will have to live it through you.

It’s funny, but I am doing everything the same as you. Making bread, making yogurt, (want to make cheese), doing canning. I think it’s this call for a simpler (as in, no crap in your food and life) lifestyle, more self-reliant. I really have to get that Nourishing book.
