Goals, Values, Vision
We would like to homestead on a small scale, or more if some of our adult children join us. We are open to sharing acreage if a neighboring farmer has need for grazing, or if someone wants to dedicate acreage to hay. A dairy cow would be nice. So far, our experience on the land has been limited to gardening. Husband is very handy across multiple skill sets, recently retired from 40+ years of self-employment.
