Hello! My name is Leah Terry. I am almost 28 years old. My husband, Scott(30), and I have been married for almost 5 years. We have two wonderful sons so far. John will be 3 in July. Noah turned 1 at the end of February. We are praying for many more baby blessings! We have had two midwife-assisted homebirths. We hope to be able to have all our children at home. I was homeschooled from the middle of 7th grade through high school. We plan on homeschooling all our children as well. My husband works with his parents on our dairy farm here in upstate NY. We are milking about 50 cows right now. We have Jerseys and Holsteins. We also have a few goats, chickens, a horse, lots of barn cats, and two dogs. My parents gave us about 4 acres of raw land last spring. We have been working on getting it livable as finances allow. We have septic, heat, and electricity. We are still waiting on water and phone. We are going to be raising our own chickens for meat and eggs. We also plan on growing a large garden. Eventually I want to get a couple dairy goats. Our land connects to the farm's land which totals about 200 acres. We love living in the country! We are so glad that we are able to raise our children here! We are very blessed! Probably a little more than you wanted to know!

Oh Leah! I would love the life that you are living! To have that milk and all the food that you personally know how it was grown. How wonderful! It must be hard work, but also very rewarding. Welcome to the board! Tina
