Hi! My husband and I acquired a little over 50 acres in the mountains in NC a few years ago and we're planning our homestead! I'm looking forward to learning LOTS from this site.
Welcome to permies, Melissa! There is a LOT here, to learn and enjoy!

Melissa, welcome to permies. There are many rabbit holes you might fall into here. I've been here a little over a year and found plenty to learn about. My husband and I are moving from Southern California to West virginia on 40 acres of woods in the hills next year.
Enjoy.

Welcome! I am looking forward to hearing some of your plans.
What animals do you plant to get?
Be sure to ask lots of questions as I am sure someone will have an answer.
