Welcome to From Scratch on Purpose, a place where I share my love from starting receipts, projects and gardening from scratch. All trying to feed and care for my family in a more health way.
I live in a small town in Northern California. My Husband and I along with our three kids raise duck hunting labs, have a small farm that is filled goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys and guinea hens. We strive to raise and grow our own food knowing were and how our food is raised and cared for.
My husband and I both grew up not owning any farm animals or any knowledge of them other than basics. When we first got married we had a large garden. A few years latter we moved and had a bit more property so I asked for some chickens. Over time my love for raising chickens and getting fresh eggs expanded and my flock grew. Than we decided to get pigs. I found so much pride in raising my own food and a purpose. I enjoy giving family and friends fresh eggs and bacon that I raised along with drinking our fresh goats milk.
We enjoy hunting and camping along with leading an active lifestyle with our kids. They enjoy their sports that include BMX racing, Kart racing, bass fishing football, baseball just to name a few. Follow along to find out how we are able to lead an active family life while still growing and raising our own food.
