I wanted to call this site “Farmer Jane” but it was taken. That name would also suggest that I’m a farmer, which I am not. I can’t even call myself “Gardener Jane” since the palm tree growing outside my window is maintained by whomever the condo association hires to manage it.

After more thought I decided that “Gucci to Goats” would communicate my mission accurately. The purpose is to chronicle my departure from total dependency to a life of increased self-reliance and greater peace. My current circumstances don’t allow me to buy a farmstead but what I can do now is start on the path by planning, educating myself and hopefully connect with others who feel similarly. This may be a baby step, but at least it’s a step.
