So, we've been discussing different ideas to make our farm sustainable and provide sustenance for our family, and possibly our neighbors, family and friends, as well.
Here are some of the ideas we are considering:
*Chickens: eggs, pest control and enjoyment
*Vegetable Garden: vegetables fresh and for canning.
*Herb Garden: fresh, soap making
*Goats: fiber, raw milk, soap making for home and sale
*Cow: raw milk, yogurt for home and sale
*Alpaca: fiber for knitting and sale
*Bees: honey, wax for home and sale
And of course, horses for enjoyment, hobby and exercise. We are also hoping to find a property with fruit trees, as well.
Having a very small herd of Churro sheep for the fiber, as well as to support the Native American sheep and culture, is also being considered, but we'd need to have considerably more acreage for that type of venture. So, we'll just have to wait and see.
