Hello!
I’m new to the forum so thought I should introduce myself. I’m a wife, mother of 4 and we are in the process of setting up our off-grid mix farm, or as you guys would call it, homestead.
We currently live in 30ft yurt, and one day hope to build a bigger home as it’s a bit of a squeeze. But it serves the purpose of being a good little home that was incredibly fast to build. We have a small solar system, generator, gas fridge, wood oven for cooking and heating and a 10,000L header tank which gravity feeds our home. Though we need more tanks one day. It’s on the list. It’s a long list.
We have a small (but growing!) heard of boer goats that are guarded by our Anatolian shepherd, 5 cows and a bunch of chickens. Some for meat and some for eggs. I have some garden areas for herbs and veggies, but we are working on fencing so that’s a work in progress. As are most things around here!
I feel like homesteading from a self sufficient viewpoint is perhaps more common in America, so I’m looking forward to browsing and learning what others are doing.
I love to write and share about our family’s life and progress HERE if you’re interested.
