The Little Half Acre is our experiment in sustainable living on a small parcel of rocky land in the mountains of western North Carolina.\u00a0 I\u2019m Jackie, and my husband Larry and I moved here on August 20th, 2015.\u00a0 We\u2019ve both loved the outdoors our whole lives (me especially) and, the older we got, the more we longed to live small and give up all the trappings of success.<\/p>\n

\"Jackie<\/a>

Because my mother lived small her whole life and never wasted a single resource, we were blessed with a very small inheritance that allowed us to pay for our dream with cash.\u00a0 Our goal is to live like my mom did \u2013 we won\u2019t waste anything, we won\u2019t go into debt and we will appreciate every blessing \u2013 however small \u2013 that comes our way.\u00a0 Thank you Mom.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll do just that here on The Little Half Acre that Could.\u00a0 We\u2019re hoping that \u2013 by our example \u2013 we will encourage others to get off their own treadmills to live small and sustainable while living very large spiritually.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
