From Glory Farm

First day on the new blog.
I've been blogging for years on a different site and decided it was time for a change. 
Introductions-I'm a wife and mother.  My honey and I farm in Northern Minnesota in hopes of sharing our resources and knowledge with others and bringing glory to God.  (It wouldn't hurt if the farm helped to pay for itself, either.)
We have chickens, ducks, sheep, Angora goats, dairy goats, beef cattle and a couple of donkeys.  We've had horses, llamas and alpacas, also.  We've decided that the dairy goats aren't for us.  We do have a dairy heifer that we've had bred this summer in hopes of having our own milk supply next spring.
We have a garden of almost an acre.  We do some foraging, mostly berries. 
I started making soaps about five years ago and found I really enjoy it.  We also use the fiber from our goats and sheep to make yarn and felt.
The Lord has blessed us more than we ever imagined.  Our children are learning His ways and are becoming great farmers, too!
