Animals we keep,

At the moment we just have a random assortment of container foods and herbs, and a sort of cooperative vegetable garden I've started at the triplex my mom owns.
Why I joined: Family and friends say things like "You can't build there..." or "You can't have an off grid home here..." but I don't know where to find the actual legal rules and regs. That's one thing. We also are going to need LOTS of help and advice if we are really going to do an owner-built home and homestead... :s
