The New Place-Eventually

Andy and I have been blessed to have both been raised in farming families.  This has lent itself to much experience as well as love of the land and animals.  Our farm is a group of places that are well spread out.  We travel a little to check on the animals at two different places as well as what we have here at our house place.  It is the smallest of the three. 

We had the opportunity in January to buy a large piece of land that is about 1/4 of a mile south of our home.  It was family land, a great aunt's, at one time.  It connects with my uncle's place also.  We feel truly blessed to be able to have bought this place.  It is 155 acres.  It had a huge plantation of pine and hardwood.  This was cut by the timber company we bought it from.  For the most part, it is devoid of rock and has great soil.  It has rolling hills and a couple of deep draughs.  We will leave them in trees.  We are unable at this time to have it cleared and fenced. We have chosen to take this as a blessing.  Andy has never had the opportunity to start a place from the soil up!  He is already researching and making plans on how to best plant areas to supply all of our farm's needs.  As you can guess, the kids and I are OVERJOYED at getting a chance to fence 155 acres with our dear Fence Fiend: Andy.
