About Louise’s Country Closet

Originally a city girl, country living took Mandie by surprise. The first adventure in her new country life was rabbits quickly followed by chickens. Wanting to do things as natural as possible and fully embrace the homesteading life, she introduced homemade cleaners and a lot of DIY projects. Sharing these on her blog so that other people can enjoy the simple things as well, is what she enjoys most.

Nearly six years after her big move, she now has rabbits, chickens, turkeys, ducks, quail, goats, dogs and cats. With a large raised bed garden and various fruit trees, Mandie’s family tries to live ‘off the land’ as much as possible.

Along with her blog and From the Farm, Mandie also contributes to Ducks Too. She is also a leading seller of hen saddles and chicken diapers, along with various printed items all made (or printed) right at home.
