Fresh air, homegrown food, a bit of manual work/exercise and contentment, what more does a man need? A shit ton of money to repair all the things that break down or need buying lol! To be fair I'm hoping that soon the money hemorrhaging phase will slow down a bit. I bought it as totally overgrown scrubland with no access, fencing or services. I've got a road and water in now, part of it fenced, cleared enough to start a holding and starting to be able to produce things off it on a small scale. Next year im hoping to get a barn up and electric in which will be a game changer. Will be able to upscale what I'm doing now and, hopefully, be able to produce enough to have a bit of an income. It will never earn compared to working but i love it and would happily take the pay cut if I could be there full time 7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

S.Maclean 94 Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 We do similar on our place, giving all sorts a try and learning as we going. Are you using the pigs and sheep to work the land for you or are they fattening up for the butcher? I have a history with all livestock but growing stuff I just can't find time to learn it. The missus sells fertilised hatching eggs off the chickens which makes a few quid more than eating eggs if you can find a customer base. People go daft for them now since all the covid stuff. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
