Sounds great! Hubby and I raised our own food (meat and veggies), canned and froze our food and burned corn to heat the house. Bought a small homestead on just my love’s paycheck as I couldn’t work anymore. Raised Dexter beef, milked goats and made cheese and raised chickens and ducks. God’s Homestead is paid for. All the above is why. God has blessed us richly..in the worst times.. God always came through.
Sounds like you’ve done a fantastic job of being self-sufficient. Kudos to the both of you. :-)
My nephew wants to do the same type of thing, and Sis and I may buy our own individual lots on his land if he’s able to buy the number of acres he wants to buy.
