I just learned about the Back Forty blog since cappressglw is now following me on Twitter.

This is a gathering place for people who have found their patch of ground to grow what they like, raise the animals they like and stretch out a bit without the neighbors peering in through the side window. Call it a small farm, hobby farm, ranchette, living the rural lifestyle or going ruralpolitan, it’s all about people getting in touch with the land.
