About

Hi, I’m Shanna Ohmes from The Natural Living Site.  Welcome to the site!  Here you will find articles, videos and posts on natural living:  everything from herbs, nutrition, healthy eating, traditional foods and diets and naturalist studies to homesteading, livestock, animals, and traditional cultures from around the world.  I have spent my life raising and homeschooling my children and studying herbs, nutrition and natural living skills through courses and self-study for over 20 years.  I’ve applied what I’ve learned with my family, friends, pets and livestock.

I’ve raised my children as much as possible in a natural lifestyle, have taught them many life skills through our homesteading and homeschooling years.  We raised dairy goats, Angora goats for spinning wool, chickens, ducks, cattle and rabbits.  At present, health issues, a drought and an empty nest have put my homesteading days on pause, but I am devoted to keep learning and develop my writing talent to share what I’ve learned about nutrition, herbs and homesteading to help others make healthy natural lifestyle choices. 

Welcome!
