Hey @ldacey-laforge! Thanks for leaving such a nice comment. I am also from the city (& suburbs) until about 2 years ago. I've been volunteering on different farms to get experience. My motivation for starting this steemit blog is sharing what I've learned and my approach to homesteading which is informed but I am also relatively fresh to rural homesteading life.. I want to inspire others that they can do it too :) I'm glad some of my posts are useful to you!
