A few years ago I traded the convenience (and crowds) of the city for 10 acres set in rolling hills right in the middle of nowhere. My little hobby farm is just that… a hobby. I’m not a homesteader, I don’t support myself with my little farm, but I do get a great deal of satisfaction out of being a good steward of the land, growing food for friends and family, and raising animals that contribute to my little ecosystem.
Currently the property consists of:
A large vegetable garden…
A small orchard that includes apple, pear, peach, and cherry trees…
A small, but growing vineyard…
A few beehives…
A flock of chickens that provide eggs and entertainment…
A flock of guinea fowl to help keep bugs and ticks under control…
And, of course, these guys…
Every day is an adventure.
