A Brief Technical Note
So if this is your first visit to Writings From Windridge Farm, you should start reading here and work your way down.
Direct links to each individual post are in the sidebar. Enjoy.
Before there was FarmgirlFare.com, there were Writings From Windridge. In 1994, I moved from Northern California to rural Southern Missouri. From 1995 to 2000, I lived on Windridge Farm. I had no previous country living experience whatsoever. After one day on the farm, the stories were already piling up. These are some of them.

I am a faithful follower of your two sites--Windridge Tales now gives me a yummy middle between your beginnings and now!
Five acres in rural Oregon allows me just enough room to scratch the dirt a little and breathe--your posts give me reason to yearn daily for MUCH MORE...
As a writer myself, I appreciate your well-crafted words and delightful photographs--you DO know there's a children's book hidden in Carey's story, don't you??
I just discovered your sites and I love them. I am a country lover and a daughter of a bigger country lover. My mom dreamed of having a farm as long as I can remember and finally, about 5 years ago, after raising 3 kids on her own, she was able to step outside of the daily grind a bit and take the plunge for a little piece of property. She purchased 5 acres in Weiser, Idaho and has acquired more cats than can be counted, two dogs, plenty of goats, bunches of chickens, and a horse. She longs for something more along the scale of your farm, but is nevertheless very grateful for having what she's got. She also keeps a blog space called FarmFancy.com with farm stories, family stuff, etc. I know that she is going to really enjoy your sites too. I'll be passing along the info. to her. You are a great writer, a courageous, inspirational soul, and a kindred spirit. Thanks for the energy you put into these blogspots. I'm looking forward to delving in and reading more. Be Well!
Susan, I've been reading your blog "In My Kitchen Garden" for awhile and just discovered these other blogs, and that you wrote for the Kitchen Gardener magazine. I loved that magazine and was sad when they stopped publication. I am enjoying your blogs!
