I wrote about what we bought because in previous comments I was told that I was fortunate to have my dream farm...here is the post I wrote:http://doublenickelfarm.blogspot.com/2008/11/farm-only-visionat-first.html<br /><br />We made the vision a reality. We became a farm in the desert. We now have 12 goats, 7 Navajo Churro sheep, 5 geese, 7 ducks, 100 chickens, 5 Black Spanish turkeys and of course the cats to keep the mice away.<br />We have a fenced garden with raised beds and this fall we will focus on trees.<br /><br />So I say go for it, but remind yourself daily that the dream homestead is not as important as the dream of making a dream homestead!<br />Jennifer<br />doublenickelfarm.blogspot,comHumble wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823200562312609670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3587770313843923620.post-5354642728112976892009-05-09T23:18:00.000-06:002009-05-09T23:18:00.000-06:00We decided recently to take deeper cuts into our l...We decided recently to take deeper cuts into our living expenses to be able to reach our dreams of self sufficiency. I believe everyone dreams of making enough off a farm to support them selves financially then there are those that choose to provide for family first. What's left can be used to become more financially secure. <br />We chose to provide for us first. We will still be needing a job for some things, but what we can do for ourselves benefits us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
