Becoming a Member of AMMA
Hello Partner,
I am Marty Ray Gordon, and the Lord blessed me by having family members that passed on many homestead life skills growing up in Bedford County, TN. Now that I am approaching the end of my working career, I felt the desire to form an organization of like-minded people that want to learn and to pass along homestead life skills to others that may not have the opportunities that I had. American Mule and Music Association "AMMA" is A 501C3 and looking for people that want to learn homestead life skills and share those skills with others.
As a member you will have access to attend a wide range of homestead life skill sessions during the year and participate at the annual festival that promotes learning and sharing of homestead life skills. A few of the basic homestead life skills are caring / working with animals, growing / harvesting food, cooking and many more. This is our first year and more homestead sessions will be added as we go. If you have questions, please call me or send and e mail. Thank you for your interest.
God Bless
Marty Ray Gordon
