Hello from Maine

[Rapid falls farm]

Hi guys! We are a homesteading family living on one acre. We raise chickens, layers and meat birds, goats for milk & meat and we garden & preserve our food. This spring we are adding meat rabbits to the mix!
I joined bc I would love to hear from other people living similar lives on such small land too! We are frugal and big on DIY. I know we will never be completely self Sufficient but we want to be as best we can

I can't wait to read more about all of you !!!

Welcome! Good luck on adding those rabbits.

Same here, I can't be totally self-sufficient but I am trying to be as self-sufficient as I can.

Welcome!

It sure sounds like you've got it pretty figured out. I haven't gotten as far as I'd like. I want to get a couple goats and some sheep.

Tell us some more!

Welcome from central Kansas! Most everyone here wants to help with advice. No one offers to come rake poo, though.

Hi! Glad to have you here. Lots of interesting stuff on the site. With all that going on, on one acre, I bet you don't have to mow much yard! I'm all for that.
