7 years ago we got our self a smallholding in western Sweden. It's about 20 acres. We got it after having rented a cottage for a couple of years, a cottage in the woodlands of south central Sweden. We, that is me, my wife, a daughter and a son.
We started with some sheep, expanded with poultry, tried pigs for a while. Now we're back to a small herd och sheep. The most recent addition to the farm is a puppy, who hopefully will become an excelent hunting companion. It's a german hunting terrier, a multi functional race. Known for its subterran capacity as well as being able to tackle wild boar and fetch bird. As you realise I enjoy hunting. The meat we consume are of course game and sheep.
Both me and my wife are interested in craft. I am a trained blacksmith but work as archaeologist. Most animals I slaghter or hunt are skinned and both skin and meat are used in some way or another.
We are far from self sufficient, but struggling to become more and more by each year. The stuff we cant produce purself are preferably brought at the local market.
Time to put the small ones to sleep. Ill get back later on. And Ill produce some pictures as soon as Im allowed....
