Countrychic and i have been wanting to get into supplying our own foods for awhile now. We both are from the farm.
We bought 8 acres of land and home this wek to commence our plans. It is pasture and set up with 2 spring fed ponds, tonnes of fresh high quality water. Horse barn, Hauge shop with an oil change pit and about 3000 sq feet open on main area of shop 15 foot ceiling, 10 and 12" main structure beams, skooookum, pristine can eat off the floors, then up a floor is another 3000 sq ft of open with 3/4 inch plywood floors, sounds like man cave, stripper pole area, then up on top floor another 1200 sq feet, same as floor 2, grow op maybe...lolol..jk
Chicken coops.
So we are going to get a couple of steers, which will be grass fed organic only, a couple of horses, not for food. We miss riding.
Chickens, for free range organic eggs.
I catch these (pics included) for fresh fish, wild salmon, and Halibut, tonnes of cod and crabs and prawns.
Project self sustainment begins end of this month.
first pic, 80 lb halibut, yum, yum
Halibut is about 20 dollars/lb in market out here on the coast, more expensive inland, a definite delicacy as far as the fish family go...
Costs me about 10 gallons of gas, a couple doobies, and a few brewskis, and lots of laughs with good friends.
