After some soul searching and reviewing the lifestyle my wife and I live, we've decided to change the name of this channel to "Self Sufficient Mercantile." We like to do so many things related to being self sufficient, that we would like to share those on this channel. Jackie is an avid organic gardener, artist, cook, and into natural herbal remedies. I'm (Tom) into DIY projects, small engine repair, building projects related to self sufficiency (solar, cooling, heating, rain water collection), musician, and nature lover. We own an outdoor power equipment shop where we also sell a variety of other products we like. Some of these include organic seeds, soil amendments, gardening tools, DIY solar supplies, artwork, how to books, etc... We had an organic CSA farm in Montana and have a lot of experience doing many things related to that and others. We would like to use this channel to share those. We truly appreciate you being here and hope to grow together in self sufficiency!
