Welcome




One Sunny Acre is a collection of anecdotes from my love of rural living.  I count myself blessed to live on one beautiful acre in rural West Virginia along with my husband and our two daughters and our multitude of critters.  This blog chronicles our attempts to live frugally, grow as much of our own food as possible and become more self-sufficient.

In September of 2019, we bought out my dad's 46-acre-farm after his passing. We are currently working to get it cleaned up and running and plan to eventually sell this place and build a home out there.


In a day when agrarian traditions are not as commonly passed down in families as they used to be, the internet has been my primary source of advice and information. Through this blog, I try to pass along some of my experiences for the entertainment and benefit of others.
