FAVORITE LINKS

Here are some links that I have talked about in some sort of time or fashion with others and I refer to these links. There are just so many sites out there, but these are some I look at most....they are good sites and I am learning a lot, so I thought I would pass them on and maybe you will enjoy them too. I look at farming/homesteading and things such as permaculture, biointensive and biodynamic growing methods, edible landscapes, and wild eating, too, ......just ideas to share with you of what I am seeing and considering lately.

This link is for the Sierra Club. A wonderful organization who make awareness about our environment and people. Mrs. Peggie Griffin has written an article about my farm in this March issue. The Link is below...I hope you enjoy reading about me...but Please Do Not Stop there, for her newsletter every issue is about a farm somehere here in Alabama and also the events and issues that we have going on in Our State environmently. Thank you Mrs. Peggy Griffin.
