thaks uncg!

i graduated from university of north carolina at greensboro (uncg) a little over two years ago. i made a lot of great friends there, particularly in my professors. one of my professors asked me if jason and i might be interested in being included in a small feature in one of the school magazines, family matters. family matters is a product of the human development and family studies department, and highlights important research and activities from the department’s faculty and past and present students.

we sent in a little blurb about ourselves and a photo, and you can see our cute little feature on page 10 of the june 2014 edition of family matters. thanks for making this happen, folks! and another thanks to my department and to uncg for taking the time to think of us since we graduated two years ago…

and what a two years it’s been! those of you who are new to our website will find some highlights of our homestead here…

when we first got our home and land in march of 2013, there were no gardens in place. we built our first beds and started with chickens as soon as we could. later we cleared more of our land and harvested many of our delicious crops! the chickens have taught us about the cycle of life and our dogs, bridey and bolt, and our cat, dodger, have made us laugh. we’ve started making videos to share our experience with the world, particularly in a way that is accessible to children, and we’ve started plenty of new experiments along the way with growing food and cooking new and exciting recipes.

thanks for your interest in what we do here… we can’t wait to share more with you in the near future!
