Buying a Farm!

[Rosyrain]

Nice one

Get yourself a copy of this...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Comple...seymour+the+complete+book+of+self+sufficiency

You'll find it really useful, get the hardback version as I used mine so much I wore out the paperback

Oh my gosh Zigs, I was actually just looking at this book on Amazon the other night and have added it to my shopping cart! I am going to need to do a lot of reading and research during the first year of having this farm, that is for sure.

Rosy, you are being so practical, and enthusiastic!

We have seen people buy a small farm, jump into all sorts of projects, tire themselves out and deplete their bank accounts, and then give up. You are not going to be one of them.

I am looking forward to hearing of your progress (and it will be progress!) and adventures. Having a small farm is an adventure, believe me!

That's so great! I grew up on a farm and I miss it sometimes. At this moment I am renting an apartment. Someday I would love to live in the country again.

I don't recommend things often, so if I do, you know it's a good one

There's some good series on re creating old farming methods on you tube, not sure if they'll be available over there though, try this one to see

The video worked, how wonderful. I am so excited about this move. I am just hoping nothing goes wrong between now and closing. I have had to sign so many papers in the last week and a half.

Nice one Rosy

Others in the series are :

Tudor monastery farm

Wartime Farm

All worth a look

Keeping them crossed that all goes smoothly

Less than a month to go until our closing date and it is going to be the longest wait of my LIFE!!!

Where is the farm?

 

[marlingardener]

Rosy, the time will pass, if slowly! I can hardly wait to see photos of your farm and what you do with it. As Chuck said, we really, really want to know where your farm is (zone, state). If you need ideas or advice, knowing where you are would be a great help.
There are going to be congratulations, advice, envy, and general joy all around when you move in!

Congratulations Rosyrain. Very exciting for you. Your enthusiasm is quite contagious.. You are obviously going to be kept very busy with loads of research , decisions to make and put into action . Good luck and I'd love to see some photos as you ride through your new adventure.
