The grand idea

I have been thinking for quite a while now that I would like to have a small farm.  Maybe more of a homestead. I like projects, I think I could be quite good at it.

Here is one of the reasons...  I have some concerns about food.  I don't want to sound like an alarmist, but I do have some concerns about GMO foods.  It is everywhere.  I think it is wrong.  The question is what can be done about it?  I don't think there is an easy answer to that, but I do think that I can not sit by quietly and let large profit driven companies dictate what I am eating and my health that results from it.

I have been doing some research and finding out disturbing facts.  I will post them to share as I get them.

Anyway, Sis and I have been talking about it and we agree.  We are starting to move in that direction.  We have had for the past several years an organic garden that has gotten bigger and more productive, and now we are considering getting a couple of chickens for eggs.  Keep in mind that we live in Chicago.  It is a very urban area.  We will see how it goes.  I will keep you posted.
