Hi, I am Kara Coffee, Welcome to my homestead!

I am an accidental farm girl, I was living in the city when I met my husband. He was a cowboy, and the closest I had been to a cow was a steak at the grocery store. I have always wanted to have a large garden and lots of livestock. The idea of being self-sufficient or as close to as possible has always appealed to me. Even before the uncertainty of a pandemic. So, welcome y’all, you may as well stay awhile and find something yummy for dinner!
