Introduction (Heather Anne)

I would like to preface this introduction by saying I have never been good at writing introductions. With that being said I hope you bear with me as I tell you a little about myself.

My name is Heather Anne. I am a 32 yr old woman living simple in the Big City of Los Angeles. I live in an apartment with my 6 children, mates, and mother in law. During a normal day you will catch me baking our daily two loaves of bread, teaching the oldest four children, tending our farm, and/or knitting.

You will notice that in the above paragraph I said two seemingly contradictory things, that I have a farm and that I live in an apartment. I think that maybe a few years ago those two things could not coexist, now however, because of drive and a determination to lead a better but simpler life those two things can.

Our family quite simply are Urban Homesteaders. We farm our front porch, utilize farmers markets, and we are starting a time bank in our community to help strengthen it. Our daughters and I are learning how to can and preserve extra food we harvest and make almost everything we eat from scratch.

Well I think I have talked, or written rather your ears off. I look forward to being a contributor to this site as well as getting to know and growing with all of you.

Much Love
