Ahoj,
Just joined up as Ive been lurking on the forum and found that its a great resource.
We have recently bought a small farm in central Czech Rep, about 45 mins from Prague. Large farmhouse built around 1870 and a second part in 1925 built out of stone, brick and lime mortar/render with a large stable/barn and about an acre of land with more available for rent/purchase as we grow into it.
We have a lot of experience with growing veggies and were self sufficient in potatoes, onions, garlic and herbs at one stage where we used to live. Now will be looking at getting to the stage where we are self sufficient in most foods apart from pastas/rices, baking bread in our old bread ovens and making spirits and cider from our apples and plums. Also will be getting some sheep(probably Cameroon breed, a hair sheep) in the future to cut the grass and also for cheese and milk.
So Ill have plenty of questions to ask everyone. I also build a bit with lime and have researched it a lot so can help with advice on this.
All the best,
Graeme.
