About
My name is Alan and I inherited a love for animals and gardening from my grandfather who was a farmer in Poland until WWII. I am also autistic (fairly high functioning in quiet environments, after much work) and have Ehlers Danlos, a joint disease.
- I harvested a basket worth of veggies every day from a small garden at our last rental (2007-2010); plenty for our two adult household, with extras to share!
I have been container gardening for years and now that I have my own property, I am gardening in the ground (and in containers). I have been breeding (and showed) fancy rats which have their own website at http://www.RodentFancy.com as well as chickens. I still do many things the way my grandfather taught me, and when I need to learn new things, I stick with learning ways that are organic and sustainable.
With our own property now, we are looking to keep a few babydoll sheep as well. If you are near to the DuPage County Fair Grounds in Wheaton, IL and would like a couple of pet rats, or some fresh veggies, or Farm Fresh Eggs, or even your own pair of hens, comment here, or send me an email!
Don’t drop by unannounced- being autistic, breaks in routine are very difficult for me to cope with and function. Further, we have a guard dog who will be close to 150lbs when full grown. You don’t want to surprised him. (Properly introduced, he’s a sweetie!)
