Welcome.  You may be asking yourself, "What is a 21st Century Pioneer?"  Let me start with a little background.

In September 2005, I first started blogging about making homemade wine and beer.  I also dabbled in making cheese and pastas.  The entire idea was to be in control of what I ate and what went into my food.

This is what you will find on this blog.  I hope you enjoy.
