  Hi! I'm Jenny. With sustainable living as my passion, I invite you to join my family as we prepare to buy our first farm. This blog is a little green, a little 'me', and a little of everything in between. Other than learning new ways to grow closer to the land, I adore animals, musical theater, and blue nail polish.
