Hello My name is Scott. Wy wife Leah and I spent our first year we were married in Alaska. They were some of the best times we ever had. We left with 2 one way tickets, 4 suitcases and a dream. Spent alot of time on a trapline with 2 older folks out near sourdough. We lived in Gakona. We left after a year to help my folks out on the farm, they were both suffering from illness. We now have 2 boys John and Noah. We milk 50 jersey cows on rotational grazing. We also keep chickens, goats, turkeys, and anything else you can think of. We love to garden and grow almost all our food. We make maple syrup and soap. We still love to hunt, fish, and trap fur. We just started work on a new "homestead" up on top of the hill. The folks are living in the farmhouse so we are putting some roots in land that was my in my wife's family. Been in the family since the 1700's. I am a Christian of the Reformed persussion(RPCNA). My pet project and goal for life is to build Christian Agrarian Culture. You know, once you've lived in Alaska you spend the rest of your life thinking about going back. Who knows, perhaps someday we will! homesteaderlife.blogspot.comMY BLOG

Hey Scott and Leah,
Welcome to the forum it sounds like you two have a lot of combined knowledge about country living. Don't either of you be shy about posting just pop in when the mood hits.
I read some of your blogs this morning, one I like to read are articles that inject humor in a serious topic. It stands to reason that since God had a sense of humor He would give us one too. After all who got the last laugh God or Sarah?
Looking to both of you folks posts don't be shy.
Chuck and Jenny
