Sow and Tare

Welcome to Sow and Tare! "Sow" means to plant--for most people this is to plant seeds to grow-it can also be used to start something in motion. You can sow a seed, sow a thought, or sow an action. "Tare" means to reset from where you are measuring from--for most people this means to put a container on a scale and make it so the container weight reads zero and is not calculated in the weight of whatever you are weighing. This could also mean to take measure only of the stuff you want--the good stuff. I am on nearly 70 acres in USDA Planting Zone 8b in Douglas County, Oregon with a hay field, pasture, garden, and lots of forest. I raise meat rabbits and chickens. I have big plans for the property to be more self-sufficient and look forward to sharing the process with you. I preserve food via dehydrating, canning, freezing, and freeze drying. I am always teaching people wherever I go and whatever I do, so this was a natural progression for me to share information with more people.
