Hi! I’m Erica. I live in Iowa. I have had a small homestead (2.5 acres) for about 5 years. I bought it for my 40th birthday after my divorce and decided I could homestead all on my own. I currently have 4 Jersey cows, 3 calves, 4 kunekune pigs, lots of chickens, 3 dogs, 6 barn cats, and 2 wild and crazy grandkids. I sell raw milk to 25 families a week. I used to sell eggs but my chicken have been free-loaders since September. I make freeze dried candy. I am venturing into soap making and bread making. I also just started a blog and am dabbling with the affiliate marketing, homestead merch, and digital products. I plan to set up a small farmstand this summer to add all of these things with fruits and veggies from the garden also. I'm very excited to be here. Thank you for having me! I love to learn from others and meet like minded people.
