Hey everyone. My name is Tegan and I'm currently residing in Waukee Iowa which is a suburb of Des Moines.
My husband and I are saving up for a down-payment on land that will become my full time job. We'll remain living in our home in the suburbs but I'll be pulling a 9 to 5 out on the land. The first year or two years will be spent improving the land and infrastructure. Then we'll start slowly introducing livestock. Our plans right now include a fruit/nut orchard, chickens, pastured pigs and milk goats.
We realize not living on the land we'll be "farming" is not ideal, but it's what we need to do to make things work for our family. I'll be picking your brains I'm sure and reading a lot of past posts to make our tiny "farm" a success, and to keep our livestock as healthy, safe, and natural as possible.
