1. Raise some chickens and eat some eggs from those chickens.
2. Keep some honeybees and eat honey from my honeybees.
I don’t think this will be happening any time soon (read several years). But when me and mine stop renting and buy a place, it will be out in the country. And we will have chickens. And maybe bees. Why? If you are asking why, then I ask you “why not?” I’m increasingly becoming more interested in where my food comes from and trying to get more and more local foods, you can’t much more local than your backyard.
I’ll keep you posted on this endeavor. Check back in a couple years because that’s when I’ll actually be making progress in this arena.
And to prove just how serious I am, I just started following a blog called Basic Beekeeping
PS This is not an extensive list. There are other things I want to do. I’ll let you know as I think of them/accomplish them.
Fresh eggs are like nothing you’ve ever tasted!! Did you know that some supermarket eggs don’t reach the store until they are 60 days old!??! Eww!!
Bees?!
Lots of backyard gardens where I live… my daughter raised chickens and sells her ‘cage-free eggs’… yes, miq, nothing like it… you will get there some day.

Bees fascinate me. Beekeeping sounds like a pretty groovy thing to do.
