Starting a farm

That's just Orison...

 

rofl... wouldn't be surprised, didn't know he liked green tomatoes though.

The rest of it should be quite fun and will teach you a lot about nature.
A few years ago, a survey in London revealed that about 20% of people had no idea that the milk that they were drinking came from a cow.

 

We had a cherry tree and patiently waited for the cherries to ripen. After a few hot days, we decided to make a cherry pie and when we went to collect them found just stones hanging from the tree.
The birds had eaten the cherries and only left the ones for us that were full of maggots.

 

A few years ago, a guy in London decided to buy a horse. Having no garden, he kept it in the lounge of his flat and not having hay, he fed it on bars of chocolate.
Needless to say, animal rescue soon intervened. The horse was re-homed and the guy ended up in a secure mental hospital

 

I got some fancy farm land , doing nothing with it , waiting , waiting for butterflies .

probably easier if you just come here and learn on my farm until you know what you are doing....can you get a babysitter for about 6 months?.. ....I could probably tolerate 1 kid at a time......

 

get a goat or three. look at these fellas.

 

Trust me when I say pigs are a Lot of Trouble !

 

Iv lived on a farm all my life. People aren't meant to live in cities crammed together like they do, brings out the worst in a human.

I'd ditch the goat and pig idea. Do the garden and some chickens.
I did a garden for a while. It was fun, relaxing. I like that kind of work. I think I picked up on that from my grandpa, he always had a garden. That's how they survived through the thirties.

There's a small farm like you desire down the road from me. They got a good sized garden green house and some kind of grey football shaped birds that are always in the road.

 

If you have enough grass a goat or 2 is really not that much of a hassle. Unless one would be clueless about (farm) animals in the first place. You don't even need to prepare a fenced pasture. They can be kept on a leash. As long as you relocate them once the grass they can reach is eaten, and they have enough water and plenty of space on that rope you're ok. A shelter for bad weather/shade and a bowl of feed concentrate (or what you call it over there) and you're a real goat farmer.

 

Goats and pigs also eat most of your thrash They're just excellent to have (in moderation )

 

When I was at boarding school in the middle of the nineties, one of the campuses had Guinea hens. Those birds are cool. They're pretty big. A little bigger than chickens if I remember correctly.

RainyDayHype, you should get chickens. Several of my past professors have had chickens.
