I'm a Tarheel, my wife is a Brummie, and here we are in Hoosierland

[philosopharmer]

Nice to meet you all. We have a small pasture-based farm about an hour or so north of Indy, raising freezer beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, and duck. We also have chicken and duck eggs. The laying birds get moved onto new grass once or twice a week, and everything else gets a fresh paddock every day. I'm retired, but my wife works full+ time, in addition to the farm work and raising two boys. I've heard there are folks who get bored when they retire. My grandpa would have said, "What's retire mean?". Me, I'm just happy to not be bored.

Thanks everyone, for the warm welcome! And Cliff, you are right about the growing. I got used to eating a lot of greens and okra down there, thanks to the red clay.

Hello and welcome from out in the woods of S.W. Oregon. After I retired in 2002 I found out that I really didn't retire, however now that I turned 80 I believe I'm retiring from most all heavy work, I'm just thankful to have neighbors to help me with that.
