So Where's the Farm?

Back in February of 2013, my family & I made a huge change. We went from living in a very suburban, just 20 minutes from downtown St. Louis area to the closest Walmart being almost 30 minutes away! It meant not only a change in location, but a complete change in lifestyle. My husband is a pastor & we were used to driving about 25 minutes from our house to church. We were also used to having a Walmart in our backyard (literally. We looked out the kitchen window into the Jiffy Lube garage door) & eating out about 5 days a week. Now we live in a town that has a gas station, a public water building, a small cafe, & 3 churches. And that's it! And it's been one of the best things to ever happen to us!
       We went from almost never eating at home to almost never eating out! While we don't have a farm, we are trying to live a healthier, more rustic lifestyle. This is a chronicle of our adventures into such things as cooking from scratch, homeschooling, & loving our rural area! Thanks for joining me on the adventure of our farmless homestead!
