I made the move a decade ago. The closest house I can see is miles away and I live and the end of a dead end gravel road 10 miles from the nearest town. The nearest high crime area would be a couple days hike from my house.
I’m considering getting some milking goats and chickens as an easy way to convert land into protein.
We made the move around eight years ago. Milking goats are good...we have had them...but we prefer the family milk cow. Never could get used to the goat milk. The extra benefit is that we get to fill the freezer when the calf grows up...and they grow pretty fast when you let them nurse from their own mom...and their is plenty of milk left for my family. We also raise chickens...for both eggs and meat...as well as sheep, have done rabbits, ducks, turkeys and plan on doing a pig or two this summer. Yes, there are some great ways to convert the land into protein. It is very satisfying to open up one of the freezers and to be able to then make the decision...”what will I thaw out?”...beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, duck, or rabbit...and to know that it all came off of my land.
