RSS White Raven Award: A Homesteading Neophyte
Filed in White Raven Award
The latest White Raven Award goes to Phelan of A Homesteading Neophyte.
Out of necessity, Phelan and her husband, both bikers, started homesteading from their small farm in Kansas. Since May 2006, she has been blogging about it. They are the only biker-homesteaders that I know.
At times hilariously funny, at others heart-warming, this gem of a blog oozes with personality (I can just hear Phelan going “Ewww” at the “ooze” bit–on the other hand, she slaughters her own chickens and is raising boys, so perhaps not.) There are no holds barred on this blog; she has strong opinions and is not afraid to voice them, nor is she afraid to talk about her failures and, well, things that the modern world skims over as “gross.” This blog is the tale of a woman who is trying to make it in one of the hardest ways possible–as a small farmer in a big-farmer world.
I really hope you will go over to A Homesteading Neophyte and see what I mean.
