    I did for nearly 10 years. He of course helped with building fences, a hay barn, etc. But I did the day to day chores. I’m now 64 and we retired 1400 miles to Texas. I only have chickens and quail which are manageable for me with my health. Hubs built me raised beds and manually filled each one….it took 30yds of mushroom compost. I’m grateful he’s still in excellent health at 76. We’re trying to keep things manageable for me as we age. No more livestock but more quail eggs are in the incubator!

    We practice Shabbat also. Sabbath has never felt so restful. Friday has become a very important day preparing for Shabbat.

    Amen to what you said.

    I can’t even figure out how to open and read a reply. I get the first 10 words or so but cannot figure it out.

    Growing pains!

    There’s quite a few in Anderson Co Texas. However, the prices have really gone up since we bought almost 7 years ago. Houston Co also is very reasonable. But I truly think Oklahoma currently has better land prices.

    The average they recommend is 3 gallons per person per day.

    HI Jeremy, my mom recently died at age 87 with crippling RA. Her poor little body was so twisted and bent. It saddened me that she never understood (probably generation and denial) how much gut health plays in all of our health. I highly recommend y’all get serious about your diet and work on the gut. Dr William Davis’ new book Super Gut is very good. I suffer from SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and MS. I’m using diet to keep the MS in remission and doing a good job. The SIBO was kicked off by 2 rounds of ABX in 2019. Anyway, Dr Davis has discovered Lactobacillus Reuteri does AMAZING things to heal the small intestine. It’s something you have to make at home (but frankly…in order to heal, that’s how you must live…eat real food made at home). My ingredients just arrived as well as a Luvele Yogurt maker because it’s fermented at 100* for 36 hours. I’m hopeful that in combination with the tons of other ferments I eat, that I can not just heal SIBO once and for all but also keep MS in remission. I would most definitely start with the gut because that’s where healing starts. Best wishes for a fridge filled with jars and jars of ferments!
