Thank you for visiting Thistle Cove Farm; may God bless you, yours and the work of your hands and heart. My goal is to respond, here, to your comments although it may take a while. Anonymous comments negative, rude or detrimental in nature will be removed.

BLOG – where you’ll find what you need for:

MY STORY – No, I was not stealing!

MONEY – Make, Save, Spend Wisely

FARM – Find, Buy, Operate, Increase Income

HOME – The Farm and Homestead Heart

ENCOURAGEMENT – Yes, You CAN!

Welcome! I’m Sandra (photo taken at lamp perhaps used by C. S. Lewis in Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe) and my homestead roots go deep. As far back as 1654 my paternal line came to the New World for a better life and in May 1995 Thistle Cove Farm was established in the southwest Appalachian mountains of Virginia.

In 2005 the blog began as a journal documenting our handmade, homemade farm life (restoring house, barns, fences, pastures) animal husbandry (hogs, Agatha and Esmeralda The Fabulous Angora-Pygmy Goatini Sisters, rare breed sheep (Carly, Harry, Sophie Shetland triplets who lived to be 22+ years), American Curly horses, black Angus steers, alpacas, cats and dogs), farmhouse kitchen, etc.

Now, since Dave’s death (my beloved husband), I’m taking a new direction and documenting my University course, “Increasing Farm, Homestead, Small Business Income” taught in the USA, Russia and eastern Europe. It’s said when an old person dies, a library is gone forever and seeing as how I’m north of Medicare, I’m doing a brain dump as quickly (haha) as a older, slow woman can go.

While I do have a Uni degree (VCU when they still had a great program), the good stuff has been learned at The School of Hard Knocks. I’m not a doctor, vet, lawyer, plumber, carpenter, mechanic, etc. and you should always consult a professional.
