Ann Accetta-Scott of A Farm Girl in the MakingA once-suburban housewife turned lady farmer. I am also the wife to an incredible farmer, a mother to 7, a grandmother to 5, and a lover of all things old and discarded. I am a truth teller, a spitfire, and an advocator for a free world.
I have no background in homesteading or farming, and I grew my first garden when I started this journey. The skills I have gathered to live a more traditional and sustainable life have all been self-taught through years of research, successes, an equal amount of failures, and many do-overs. Isn’t that what this life represents? Success, failure, and do-overs are a part of my life. We can not grow in our journey without experiencing them.
Consider me a transplant into the movement of clean eating, which involves natural living, cooking from scratch, growing food, raising livestock, preserving the harvest, and the art of living simply.
I advocate for all to have the ability to raise a handful of chickens and maintain a garden, regardless of where you may reside. I encourage families to take control of their food source and fight for a more natural, chemical-free protocol for our health.
I aim to encourage as many people as possible to become free thinkers and question everything that does not make sense.
The joy of this life allows us to live a quiet life that will enable us to enjoy God’s work and word. I also encourage others to minimize our footprints left behind and buy used and sustainable materials. Wool, cotton, recycled material, and thrift store finds are the way of our lives.
I have evolved after many years of creating a traditional and sustainable life.
The student has now become a teacher, a servant, an encourager, a community cultivator, and an author for those who desire a more sustainable life.
