We're a homesteading family living in rural Wisconsin. Our name -- Britches and Brambles -- came about because we were raising a family of little children (our "britches") on a homestead that was covered by all sorts of wild berry bushes (the "brambles").
We've since moved from that property, though we still own it and live just 20 miles away. We're building up our new place, starting from scratch. We hope to share our projects along the way so that we can gain input and perhaps inspire a few folks.
I'm the wife and the primary writer. My husband works long hours away from the homestead. We have six children. Our eldest is married and has two children; they live on the property with us. The other five are homeschooled and at the time of this post, one is about to graduate.
In the past, we've raised dairy goats, chickens, and ducks. We reduced our animals in anticipation of moving because there was no infrastructure at the new place. This Spring (2018) I'm certain the chickens will return. I hope to have dairy goats again by 2019.
We look forward to being part of the SteemIt community!
