Jazzmine posted a blog postLooking for some advice...
Well I am a newbie to this site, I just found it. I realized that it might be the link to put me in the right place at the right time. I desire to be self sufficient to the fullest but living in the city and not knowing anyone to learn from, it makes it just a tad bit more difficult to be successful. I came to this site to learn and I absolutely know I will just by reading, but I want to actually get some feild training, I want to do the dirty work... but I don't know where... I want to help…See More

- What kind of HOMEGROWN are you?
- Fill in the Blank
- Fill in the blank:
- I'm a baby at all of this, I admire it and want to become 100% homegrown but at the moment I need the guidance and the who, what, when, where, and how. I'm a city girl with a country heart and all I need to be shown is the way... oh please help me help me help me :)
- A bit about me:
- well my whole life I've been in the city and taken care of, I never had to grow my own food or raise my own animals, go fetch water from a well, or ever eaten freshly grown food. I very badly want this independence and am really looking for that person to take me under their wing and teach me all i can get lol for an exchange for some dirty work of coarse lol. Though honestly i have never stepped foot on a farm in my life but at this point in my life and this ache in my heart from not doing so, I know this is what is next in my life.
- Latest greatest meal cooked at home:
- honestly I just got back from my first year in college and since I've been home and not living on my own I can't even remember the last great meal I've cooked... sad
- Currently reading:
- The bible :D
- Currently listening to:
- I was listening to some gospel musicians by the names of: Saylah, Sho Baraka, and Francesca Battistelli.
