About Sandra Bennett

BLOG – I help folks find, buy, live and increase income on their farm, homestead or ranch. Even if it’s a half-acre lot in town. On this blog you’ll find what you need for…

MY STORY – No, I was not stealing! The beginnings in 1989.

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, at one time shepherd of the largest flock of colored wool sheep and herd of American Curly horses in Virginia. My homestead roots go deep; as far back as 1654 my Daddy’s people 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 useful stuff has been learned at The School of Hard Knocks. I’m not a doctor, vet, lawyer, plumber, carpenter, mechanic, etc. so always consult a professional.
