Mary's Florida Garden
Our journey to self-sufficiency on 4 acres in Central Florida. We have two dairy cows, chickens, citrus and other fruit trees, and a groing vegetable garden.

I am a simple woman with simple loves: my Jesus, my husband and my children, my garden and my kitchen. If there is work to be done with my hands, I am there with great pleasure - sewing, crocheting, even taking care of my home bcommunitys me joy. I thank God for his many blessings on this journey of life with Him...

The journal of an Australian family of five, baby-stepping their way to a simpler, more sustainable future in suburbia.
