zachary welch

Thanks all for the advice..... I can hear them howling in the distance on quiet nights not sure what would have brought them in that close that night

Hello again everybody,
   Well again im reaching out to my permies family in need of ways to help keep coyotes off my property.
.    My aunt down the road at the end of my fields dog was attacked tonight by a coyote and I'm scared that they will come down this way and try fooling with my ducks and chickens.  Although I do have the in the barn but I haven't fixed every small hole in it..... I do have a German shepherd and a bird dog/brown Doberman (according to vet) who have free patrol all through the night via doggy door and both go out together. So I guess I'm asking if any of yall have prior experience with coyote problems what did ya try and outcomes. I'm open to anything except traps and snares I have these but we have too many pets to use this method.


Thanks to all,
Zack


Also I've attached a picture of my babies  😊
And a picture of a 4.25 ounce ginseng too I found this past year and replanted here on my property!!

Hello I'm interested in learning more. Mainly your location.

Thank you!!! Will be planting it tomorrow!!

I was just wondering if its too late to plant garlic in my area.... I live in south central Ohio... Any info would be appreciated... Thank you in advance

This sounds very close to what I would love to do in life. I love being outdoors and learning anything I can. I have grown up my whole life in the woods or by a creek, lake, river, or pond. I hunt and process all my own game animals as well as catch and clean my own fish. I have extensive knowledge on wild edibles especially for that area as I have grown up most of my life in central Ohio an hour south of Columbus and about 2 hrs northeast of Cincinnati. I know morel mushrooms. When to find them and which trees to look around. During spring in Ohio I spend most of my time foraging for morels and crappie fishing. I also love to cook which is also a reason I like hunting and gathering I know what I'm cooking and what I'm cooking with. I have many skills and very self motivated...this is a dream of mine just don't have the finances to achieve it by myself. If my interest strikes up any questions or you want to talk more feel free to email me at welchz14@gmail.com for further contact information..thanks for time in reading this

Thank you so very much and please do keep us in mind should anything arise. Thanks again Zack & Chastity

Are you still looking for hard workers looking to establish roots?? My fiance and I packed everything we had and moved to a farm in Chatham Virginia just to find out the owner wants nothing more then a 200 acre unkempt farm. We moved down under the impression she wanted to do something like what yall have going but she won't allow us to work in that direction. Come to find out all she wants is someone to feed her animals and care for her garden while she is away. I moved from Ohio to work on a for profit farm and nothing of that nature is going on here or ever will go on here. I look forward to hearing back from you. I am a 27 year old male with a strong work ethic and my fiance is 41 years old and also loves fruit and vegetables gardens as well as flowers and animals of all sorts. If you could send me an email letting me know if all positions are filled or what the status is...we are also available for an interview if it's something your interested in. Please and thank you for your time.

Hi my name is Zachary Welch I'm 27 years old and currently doing work trade on a 200 acre farm in Virginia but the woman running the show is never happy no matter the amount of hard labor I put in so I'm looking for another opportunity and exploring options. I do tend to voice my opinion on how I think things should be done but here I have no freedom of expression. She has had multiple people try to help her and says they are all the problem...but she isn't open to change and what she says she wants will NEVER work doing it her way....I have many plans and ideas but no freedom to put into action. I also have a fiance that could work a job in town while I care for the farm...I have 2 hens and also 2 dogs.. I love to hunt morel mushrooms as well as hunt and fish...I know many wild edibles and pretty good with trees. I like to say I'm a man of the woods. If your still looking for a hard worker and willing to accept ideas then feel free to contact me through email...my email is welchz14@gmail.com or my cell phone number is 740-637-2517. I have a bunch of wood from pallets to 1bys also 2×6s I can build and construct. Before trying this joke of a place I was a concrete finisher so I know about that as well. I currently feed and water 3 horses which we make their food into mash as one of the horses has no back teeth, also 3 ponies and a donkey, and around 36 chickens and 6 cows.. I do this 2 times daily. I'm an early riser hard worker and early sleeper. This is the life I want as I see mainstream society digging a hole that one day will consume us all... I love being self sufficient and living off the land as much as possible. THIS IS THE LIFE I WANT TO LIVE AND WILLING TO DO EVERYTHING SHORT OF KILLING MYSELF TO ENSURE SUCCESS FOR NOT ONLY ME AND MY FIANCE BUT ALSO YOU AS THE LAND OWNER. I am also very good with gardens as I have said I love nature and everything to do with it. I am very grateful to be here where I am now but I can't handle nothing ever being right no matter how much effort I put into it. She is just very ungrateful. The farm is a failure and until she realizes her ways don't work it will continue to fail. I am being completely honest and open here so I hope you don't take it the wrong way. I look forward to hearing back from you and hopefully we can work something out. From the description I feel like I could work out for you and help you out while at the same time your helping me. Thanks for your time.

I have started phone conversations with some people, but they either are going in a different direction, or their lives seem to be in complete chaos, and they just won't respond after awhile. I have recently opened up a 2-bedroom house on the property, after trying a local person. THAT was awful. What to do? I basically will offer free rent (you pay electric) in exchange for some feeding, garden and general help to equal the amount of rent. You COULD also work part-time for me. Or you could work elsewhere. Or we could have a farm enterprise and share the profits, but I AM NOT GOING TO PAY FOR EVERY SINGLE THING, PAY YOU BY THE HOUR, AND PROFITS TOO. Some people think they should just dip their hands into every single pot. It is very frustrating. I have so very much to offer!! But I have been so incredibly burned, and by people who were well-known in the community, family and friend recommended. How does one prevent a complete stranger from running amok? It would be nice to have someone who has some kind of initiative, or someone who would share in the financial risk/up-front costs, or someone who understands that if you work for profit you only receive the profit, and anything else is just an advance on that profit. And that it requires them to do something independently. My problem is MARKETING. I just don't have "the knack." There are farmer's markets, local stores, etc. everywhere, but I just freeze up with the permies. I am also unable to get a regular contract, such as with a restaurant or vendor, for the same reason. I can raise any kind of animal, in particular, very well. Gardening, I'm pretty good at, although I have a problem getting rid of certain pests because organic just doesn't seem to work on them. But it needs to be about more than just ME doing everything, thinking up everything, paying for everything, paying everyone, bankrolling every single nail and taking all the risks. I need more than "FARM HANDS." I need AGRICULTURALISTS. Business people. Under what rock do these people hide? Does anybody have any ideas? I have a beautiful house for someone to live in. I have a beautiful piece of property. I need Partners.

My name is Zachary Welch and I am very interested in this offer. I am a 27 year old male with a great work ethic looking for the opportunity to make a self sustaining life. I am willing and able to put in the hours and physical work needed to attain this like minded goal. I have no financial support to offer but in every other aspect you have described I can be that person if given the opportunity once established I can and will help with expenses. I currently live in ohio I hunt, fish, and forage wild mushrooms and other edibles as season permits.
