Ok people, now this has been fun…lol…My property here in central WV, is workable, but very hard to work on, because it is on the side of the mountain. So with the ever increasing animal population I have and the need for a garden space that is not on the side of the mountain, I have acquired another piece of property back in January of this year, and have started working on it, getting fences built, and getting a barn, coops & sheds built. Not to mention planting the approx. 1/2 acres garden I am starting with.
The waterfowl is gonna litterally love the new farm, it has a pond, which there not accustomed too. They are used to playing in a small stream or even the ditchline. I have been working on getting the pond area fenced in for them, and its just about done!
The goats will also enjoy their new area to roam in, especially the young ones, there will be small trees for them to eat from also.
My little home is gonna consist of a 24′ travel trailer, until I get the rest of the farm setup. Then I will build me a small home, nothing fancy. Just something where I can get in out of the weather and stay warm on those cold dreary days & nights.
I welcome anyone to contact me about homesteading/farmsteading. I will do my best to help answer any questions you may have.

Good luck with your new farm field. Farming is hard work. I grew up on a Maine farm, own a 300 acre farm that I rent out.
