My girlfirend (Brittany 27) and myself (Jeremy 25) currently live in st loiuis mo. i grew up in a small town in the boot heel of missouri called piedmont. we raised chickens, ducks, geese, and a few goats. In addition, we had a small garden. Which was more of a hobby, the fresh vegetables were just a bonus. Also my grandparents own a dairy farm in northern Minnesota, where i spent a few summers. My girlfriend doesnt have the farming/livestock experience I do, but she was raised in the sticks. She is bit a tomboy and isn't scared to get her hands dirty.
My orginal plans were to buy a piece of property, and live off it. not nessiacrly including electric or running water. We would like live off the land as much as possible.
I would like to get to the point where i was 90%+ self-reliant. To grow and harvest my own crops, raise and breed my own chickens for eggs and meat, trap small and hunt larger game, gather what natural resources that are around, and fish if possible.....
We have been saving for awhile to accomplish this dream, we have been able to put back 12k. So obviously buying property isn't an option at the moment. But would have enough to get the basics, because of my job in construction. I do have alot of hand tools, and have been collecting odd and end things to make this dream happen....
We are both very hard working and very dedicated to the goal of this lifestyle.
How do things sound so far? Do we sound like the type of people you are looking for?
Please contact me with any questions, comments, concerns, or offers.....
Would prefered to be emailed if possible
