Where to Begin

Oh My! So much has happened so fast that we don't even know where to begin. We have only began the home buying process and it is sucking the life right out of us. It's exhausting! The only things we know for sure is Oak Nuts Hobby Farm will be the name of it, we are going to have chickens, rabbits, and of course goats for milking, and a garden big enough to feed the two through winter.

So, let me tell you why we chose Oak Nuts Hobby Farm. How to pronounce Acorns is the other thing we argue about. He says A-corns and I say Akerns. Since we could never agree about it (that would take the fun out, wouldn't it?) I decided to use the alternative acorns, 'Oak Nuts'. The Hobby Farm part derived when we were looking at properties and determined 35-40 acres was way more than we wanted to maintain and 2.5-5 acres acres should be sufficient for what we need to live a semi-sustainable life.

Now, onto the good stuff. We have finished our end of the paperwork on a 2.5 acre farm and waiting for the results to come back. If we get this one, Great! If not, we try again. But either way we moving somewhere around the end July. Yes, right in the middle of growing season. But I'm still going to make the best of it and share this great experience with you. We'll write about topics, such as De-crapifying, Jar Boxes, Using Up Food Storage -Meals, and Preparing for the Big Move!

We will also have plenty of planning and semi-sustainability ideas as soon as we know what we are going to have to work with. Some thing that already come to mind are a graywater re-use system, gardening plans, and comparing animal shelters.

 I will for sure keep you updated as to the status of our future farm. So, please, wish us the best in the comments below.
