....Hi folks, my name is Scott Terry and I've spent my whole life farming, homesteading, and scratching out a living in the rural sections of the north. Over the years, I've been a dairy farmer, fur trapper, and maple syrup maker. I've raised cattle, hogs, sheep, goats and chickens. I am married to a lovely woman named Leah and we have 8 children. I've put together this website to help people gain the skills and knowledge needed to live a more independent, agrarian lifestyle.
