Personal Farm Blog

Jul 13th, 2007 | By | Category: Blogroll

While looking for vegetable gardening information, I ran into a website that was an interesting read and thought ya’ll might like to see it. Its’ called the Life of a Farm blog.

The blog is written by a divorced father of three who works a full-time job while also trying to care for his family and it’s 127 acre farm. Since finding it, I’m spending way too much time looking at tractors!

I did the previous post about my dream house. An important part of that dream is a small farm. Not anything like 127 acres, albeit, but maybe 10 acres or more. 5 to farm and 5 for us. We’re keeping our eyes out for land partly wooded/part pasture with a water source on it, preferably a creek. With Slobo working from home, we could go just about anywhere, altho Georgia and West Virginia are the only places I feel at home now.

We’ve been kicking around numbers to payoff all of our debts, which these days, isn’t much, and use those payments to at least find the land and get it paid off before the kids are grown. That way, we can maybe contact a mortgage company like California mortgage refinance to finance the building of a family home. With my MIL possibly moving in soon and my sister, that I hope with live with me later, it would be really nice to have room for all of us to spread and still have land for the kids to build if they want.
