Like all the Guides at About.com, I'm a real person. You can email me at smallfarm@aboutguide.com.
Due to the volume of mail I receive, I may not be able to answer each question individually. I will do my best to reply to you, but I also encourage you to post to the forum. I do check the Small Farms Forum regularly and will often answer posts there. One additional benefit to the forum is that other small farmers and homesteaders post there and you gain from the wisdom and experience of a group rather than an individual.
