Cathy R. Payne
Biography
This is Cathy R. Payne's first book, written after six years of research and interviewing. After more than three decades of teaching struggling students at the elementary level, Cathy retired and purchased a modest agricultural property to produce nutrient-dense food and conserve heritage livestock. She was a blank slate, but a quick study. She raised Silver Fox rabbits, American blue and white rabbits, Gulf Coast Native sheep, American Guinea Hogs, heritage chicken layers, and Khaki Campbell ducks. After eight years of this grand adventure, Cathy moved back to the suburbs of Athens with her husband, their English Shepherd, and a ragdoll cat. She now advocates for heritage breeds, talks about homesteading, and continues her research and writing.
