Hello from Warren, Vermont!  My name is Patty Sue Cooper and I work in the woods and fields in this area taking photos and videos of nature.  I also harvest wild foods and medicine.  I have the help of my Carolina Dog Doggie Beowulf Cooper when out working here.  He is always at my side to help and assure my safety.  We have been a team now for a little over three and one half years.  We make a good team.  He also travels with me when we work out od state and is trained to help with mobility and also as a PTSD service dog.   I write a lot on Facebook and am registered DBA as Patty Sue's Cherokee Trail Of Tears Beans and More with the State of Vermont.  This is a new business for me, I always wanted to farm but not on a large scale.   I like primitive living and this Spring am doing an agricultural experiment to grow Wampum Corn, Cherokee Beans, and pumpkin ( I have not picked the seed for that yet) the old way which was done before the Europeans landed on Turtle Island ( America).   Sunflowers too!  Cannot forget the sunflowers!  

I like to grow plants.  I like it so much that I took over part of the kitchen on the farm I am living on now and grow under lights there.  I transplanted Siberian Tomatoes today for the third and final time into grow bags there and they will start flowering soon.  I was hoping for fried green tomatoes by Valentines day but maybe by March!  I have cucumbers growing also and they are going to bloom any day now.  I grow microgreens and cactus which you can either eat the pads or the fruit.  I have a fig tree, banana tree, and citrus too...   I have dreams one day of green houses built over pits so I can grow the figs on a larger scale and other food and trout too all year.   I have guppies now,  and all their water when changed feeds the plants.  I grow in organic soil.  I believe that food is our medicine and just as a car does not run on bad gas,  a being does not run on bad food.   I do like white sugar in my sweet tea though...  I just have not given it up yet.  working on it.

That is about all for now,  I plan on posting about what we do here.  We do not live a very normal life haha.  A bit of adventure,  some great photos,  some video,  some tall tales and some that are not so tall,  I am a short little woman about 100 pounds so I like short tales... ha!  Have a great day,  please always be kind!

                                           Thanks for visiting! I love you all!
