Hello Jacob
I am also 40 with strong family values. I have 1 young boy and another on the way in October. A story...we all seem to have them. I have always wanted a big family and homesteaders way of life and have been working towards that for some time. I love gardening but have a lot to learn still and I spend much of my passion and time in the kitchen and enjoy a "food as medicine way of life".
I am curious to know more and can also share more and pictures privately.
