😆 Maybe if you count the neighbor’s chickens as part of the self-sufficiency. He just opened his farm store, so we’ll be able to get fresh eggs!

It feels wonderful to be eating from the garden! It is also great to know how the chickens we bought were pasture raised. We see the chicken tractors as he pulls them around the yard.
