I actually believed I could do everything I want with just one acre. 5 Acres would be perfect but the reason I want 40 is for the buffer from other people. I want Woodlands elk deer coyotes you name it surrounding my Homestead. It's not just the amount of land that's the amount of peace that land can bring

Interesting, I read a booklet on a 5 acre farm by an English Lady written (a reprint) in the early 1800's. This is almost identical to that layout.

lol, You say that no one is teaching rotational grazing on a small acreage Then you mention Joel Salatin who has been teaching that since the last century.<br>😊😂😁

Honestly cant find fault with this presentation outside of I personally haven't vet the process for myself. Everything is exactly the plan I have for the property I'm moving to when I'm done with the Metro life, though I will say 10 acres sounds more appealing than 5 if nothing more than to have a bigger woodlot for hunting.

Just closed on 125 acres. No house, barns, outside buildings. Just raw land. Was used for hunting and just had timber removed (not clear cut). The is a main driveway into the property with trail’s branching off around the property. No well, a wet water creek that runs most of the year. Two big open areas that could be building sites but they are off the beaten track. Not sure where to start. Any suggestions or tip’s would be appreciated.

I have ten acres in the highlands of Tanzania. 2000M above sea level, cold by tropical stands. I have 10 acres where I wish to retire. I want to go the homestead/agrotourism route. Please advise.

Aren’t the chickens pretty close to the back door? (Flies). Don’t have any experience just wondering

Your videos are great if you live in the Eastern USA. I live more dessert area, dry and hot. How about an accurate, real to life video on 5 -10 acres in an area that receives 15"-20" of rain yearly? Otherwise, your videos do me no good.

There is 10 acres I’m looking at. right through the middle of it runs a county road. There’s about 6 acres on one side that’s pretty much level and with the house on it already across the county road of the remaining 4 acres there’s only about a half acre that’s usable. There’s a ravine cutting through the rest of it. I have two questions 1:how can I get a book that talks about Homesteading on 5 acres and second there’s two animals that you talk about that God forbid us to use one is the pig. God makes it very clear that we’re not to have anything to do with a pig God calls pigs a abomination and the second one is the rabbit. them two animals I’ll definitely not have on my properly.
