I'm still very new to farming, #homesteading, and #animalHusbandry, but I've been #gardening and #growingThings for a very long time and I feel like #landStewardship is something I was meant to do. Part of the beauty of the journey I'm on is unlocking the #ancestralKnowledge that capitalism & colonialism has stolen from us.

#OTD Rachel Peden, #Indiana #Writer, is born.
Her #Father was a #Fruit #Farmer, & she called him "the #Orchardist" in her #Writing.
A self-described #Hoosier #Farmwife, Rachel's #Byline was "Mrs. RFD" (for "Rural Free Delivery"). Her columns in The #Indianapolis Star & The #Muncie Evening News charmed readers with stories about #Nature & #Farm #Life.

"[I #Love] the #Therapy of working in [the #Garden] & my #Neighbors from the #Natural #World that I meet there."

When I was researching Rachel, I #Found her #FindAGrave #Memorial, which ends with these #Words:
Find A Grave has determined that Rachel does not meet their #Criteria for being #Famous,
but they are #Wrong.
#Remember Her
