“It’s the job that’s never started as takes longest to finish.”
– Samwise Gamgee
Hi, I’m Jamie! I live with my family on a small farmstead in northwest Tennessee where we raise Svarthöna chickens, guinea fowl, fainting goats, and Maremma Sheepdogs. What started as a love for homegrown food and a simpler life has grown into a bustling little homestead—and a blog where I share what we’re learning along the way.
Here you’ll find hatching eggs, farm-raised chicks, and goat kids for sale, plus blog posts on homesteading, homemaking, and budgeting tips.
With a background in accounting and finance, I love helping others make both their homes and their budgets run a little smoother.
I’m so glad you’re here!

The Farmstead
Our farmstead is situated on acreage in Northwest Tennessee. We’re in USDA growing zone 7b.
On average our first fall frost occurs on October 25th. Our last spring frost is on April 13th.
We are members of the Maremma Sheepdog Club of America (MSCA).
We raise fainting (myotonic) goats for land management, chickens for eggs and meat, Maremma Sheepdogs for livestock protection, cats for rodent protection, and we grow a garden to reduce our trips to the grocery store.
