We currently live in Jacksonville, NC while my husband is in the Marine Corps waiting (hopefully :fl) medical retirement. We do want to move to a "farm" with at least 6 acres, but less than 10. hopefully on that farm we will be able to have chickens, cattle, goats, sheep, and horses.
Currently, we live in a subdivision, and we have apple trees, a pear tree, raspberries, grapes, mulberries, kiwis (planted this year), and 6 raised beds along with room for corn, watermelon, and pumpkin that are not in raised beds. Hubs would like to work for the EPA after he gets out of the Marine Corps so we can further our love for green living and be more self sustaining. (It sure does take a lot to get started!! LOL) We're learning to live more off of the land, as my husband is Native American, but from Minnesota so has not a clue what to really do down here.
Glad to know that I can come here and get advice to help us along the way!

:lol:

We had goats when I was a wee thing (around 4 or 5) and I remember some of the crazy stuff our goats did! I also remember one time we took the kids and had them pull our sleds... LOL Of course, I'm hoping to stay away from TOO much snow!!

I'm really hoping that we can make all of this happen sooner rather than later. Our kids are 12 and 8 so... they're still young enough to think helping with the garden is fun... and they are eager to get chickens and goats. My daughter seen a picture of a La Mancha kid and fell in love. (Can't say I blame her.... they are rather adorable!) Hubs really likes the idea of drinking goats milk. I LOVE the taste of it... and the cheese is rather awesome. I'm going to be getting into soap making for my biz (we make candles...)
We had talked about doing meat rabbits... but when lil man cried because he had to thin his pumpkins... we decided against them.. :p

OK, did you actually direct them, or just let them go wherever?

Mmmmmm... I was pretty young... but I seem to remember my siblings kind of coaxing them along with some feed... but I could be wrong. I'll have to ask my sister!
