Moving To The Country

Billy and I have a dream to buy a farm or mini-ranch. We are very interested in sustainable living and getting off "the grid" with the use of solar and wind. We want to grow our own chickens for eggs and meat. And possibly bringing in some goats, sheep and maybe a cow. We would love to have a big garden too. The less we have to buy at the store, the better!
Since this won't be able to become a reality for a few more years; we have decided to look for a place to rent in the country to see if this is even feasible for us. A test drive if you will. We found one!
It is on a fully fenced 1/2 acre, 2 bed and 2 bath with a barn, chicken coop and 2 gated areas. we are going to use the one off Finnigans room as his own private play yard. The other is a courtyard surrounded by morning glory with an arbor to put our hot tub under. This will be my "Secret Garden".

We are very excited to start our new lives as farmers. I think I will do another blog for "Finnigans Farms".
