We live on 1 acre in southwest New Mexico, and most of it we have turned in to garden area and adding more to it all the time. We also raise Nubian goats and chickens. We are trying to become more self sufficient as we can get with out totally living off grid. Will be adding solar for water heating and lighting at a later time. The garden we raise isn't certified organic as we don't like "Big Brother "telling us what we can do and how to do it, but we do not use any chemicals to control pest or the weeds we do it as natural as possible. We plant a wide variety of stuff in our garden that will grow well in this area. What we do grow is put up for our use and sold at our local Farmers market this includes the eggs the girls give us, unfortunately NM doesn't allow us to sell the fresh milk and cheese that we get from the goats, what isn't sold or put up we give to those less fortunate than our selves. We use many different ways to have usable soil to plant our garden raised beds, tilled ground, buckets, and barrels will be installing a small aquaponics system inside the house this summer that will allow us to grow fresh lettuce, spinach, and other leafy vegetables. The growing season here is fairly long we plant most the crops mid April and continue in most years to harvest crops till end of October and some even till mid November. We still have two teenage boys living at home but they are almost grown 11th and 9th grade. Allen is 41 and Debra is 40. Well that's enough about us for now.
We are looking for a wife someone who can and will help Debra in the garden, with the animals, house hold duties, and day to day life activities. Not just a hand but a wife, someone who can grow to love us and spend the rest of our lives together. If you don't know any thing about gardening ,food preserving (canning, dehydrating, freezing, and or pickling), or tending to the animals that's ok we are more than willing to teach you.
If your interested in learning more please leave a way to contact you so we can get to know one another.
