"Nearly everyone dreams of moving to the country, but few people are crazy enough to actually do it. I'm one of those few." This is what Farmgirl Susan says as her introduction on her blog, Farmgirl Fare.
First, she moved to a a 280-acre farm in 1994, then:
Seven years ago I moved to an even more remote 240-acre farm which I share with sheep, chickens, 2 dogs, 7 cats, 4 very entertaining donkeys & one really well fed farmguy. My life revolves around food. I write food & garden articles & have taught cooking classes & contributed to cookbooks. I'm a passionate bread baker, and we're slowly building a small wholesale artisan bread bakery here on the farm.
I think her introduction explains very well what her blog is about. She leads a very interesting life and shares stories and photos of her life on a Missouri farm. She also shares her delicious recipes!
In My Kitchen Garden is an an offshoot of FarmgirlFare.com and is about her garden, funnily enough.

Pocket Farm - a blog
Pocket Farm is the name of a fascinating blog about living a sustainable way of life on a "farm". This is one of the first posts about Pocket Farm:
Well, it’s not exactly a farm now, but it will be someday. Currently PF consists of a 150 year old farmhouse, 50 acres of fields, woods, and a farm pond, a big vegetable garden that grows all the veggies and roots that two people can eat for a year (and then some), and six laying ducks. The plan is to add some rabbits and some sheep in a few years. I would love to make cheese and yogurt, plus sheep have all that lovely fleece. It is an experiment is sustainability…just how much can we depend on ourselves?
Liz writes about her interesting life on the homestead and slso shares recipes, tips and stories about her lifestyle.
