Welcome to my blog about life after retiring from the Navy and trying our hand at small scale farming. It isn't much right now, but we have big dreams. We came to the farm with three kids and a dog. At this point we have 3 cats, 5 goats, and 28 chickens- in addition to the kids and dog. It really wasn't even a farm... it is a house on 2.33 acres. In the 10 months we have been here we have put up fencing for the dog and the goats, built a storage shed and a goat house. Then we built a new goat house and converted the not-so-old goat house into the chicken coop. The next step in the plan is to work on getting the entire property fenced. $$$. Not ready to invest there yet. We put in our garden last week. Hopefully we will get some produce so we can try our hand at canning and food preservation.
