My name is Maureen Washington and I am a new Urban Homesteader on 1/4 acre in Zone 9B.
My dream to buy property to grow and live on a larger scale and to create a legacy for my Kidults and grandchildren. I doing what I can to learn as much on this small scale so that I can one day grow more and have multiple animals.
