Hey there, I’m Veronica!
It’s so nice to meet you!
I’m on a mission to live as sustainably as possible with my family – from growing our own food, to raising our own meat, and everything in between. All while living in a gated community in the suburbs and building our dream home on our 2 acre property a few miles away!
Some facts about our Mini Urban Farm:
- We cook the majority of our own food – but I don’t cook on Fridays. After a long week we always order out!
- I live with my partner Alan, he has 2 girls who live with us part time
- Milo, our giant fur-baby, is a Rhodesian Ridgeback who loves pillows and always tries to eat our meat chickens
- Our homestead is comprised of 2 different properties – one is the home we live in (in a gated community) and the other is a vacant piece of land that we bought last year – we’ll eventually build our dream house there!
- We both work full-time in healthcare and in our free time we do homestead projects, take care of the animals, and tend to the garden
- We keep 10 hens (and a rooster named Nugget) for eggs – yes, we know we don’t need Nugget for eggs, but at this point he’s part of the family
- We’re new to most of this (except gardening and cooking) so we’re learning as we go!
