Before 2002, Deborah Niemann thought a cheeseburger and fries were a healthy
meal, and taking care of her two cats and dog was the extent of her animal husbandry
experience. Then, in 2002, she relocated her family from the Chicago suburbs to a 32
acre piece of land, where they built their own home and began growing the majority of
their food. Today, these modern-day homesteaders raise pigs, sheep, cattle, goats,
chickens, and turkeys and derive their fruits and vegetable from an organic garden and
orchard. Neimann regularly presents workshops on soap making, bread baking, cheese
making, composting, and homeschooling. If it has ever been your dream to escape the
grid and live more in harmony with the earth, you will not want to miss today’s program.
