Thanks, Susan. I am not interested in farming, only gardening. But the group
sounds interesting.

Hi Paulette,

There is a group like this one with NFB called Agricultural and Equestrean
Division and they are involved with horses, farm animals, farming, gardening
and related homesteading activities.  A farily quiet group, but when they
get going, they are a really great bunch of people.  Here is their sign up
information.
