Nice to meet you!

Goodwife Farm is the home of the P family, which is made up of The Man, the Goodwife, and The Youngun. The Man is the Operations Manager of a major waste hauling company, the Goodwife is a cook at a high school, and the Youngun is a 4th grade student!

The first and most important thing you should know about us is that we are children of God and that Jesus Christ comes first in our lives. We give everything over to him, all our cares, worries, and fears, and He takes wonderful care of us. Our name, Goodwife Farm, comes from my belief that women should strive to be the kind of wife that God describes in His Holy Word, Proverbs 31. It isn't a very popular view-point in this day and age of the "modern" woman, but it is the way that I believe God intended women to be. I love taking care of my husband and being an old fashioned wife. One thing I should clarify however is that I have the best husband in the world. He is an amazing, Godly man and loves and respects me just as much as I love and respect him.

We are very interested in self sufficient living and do what we can to live that lifestyle. We raise Kinder goats for the rich creamy milk that they give and make the most delicious homemade ice cream that you've ever eaten! We use fresh eggs from our chickens and fresh milk from our goats and there is nothing better in the world than our ice cream! I make soap with the goat's milk added for a nice creamy soap that does wonderful things for your skin!
