Thanks for the replies. I'd like to eventually either grow or raise everything we eat. I'm going to start with some chickens for egg's and meat rabbits. There's a bee club local so I'm going to be looking into that aswell. The kids are 6,12 and 16. Im not sure about the soil but I do know that there used to be loads of fruit trees and bushes on the property that cut down about 15 years ago. About an acre of the land is a wooded area so there plenty of wood and leaves that IV been looking into hugelkultar to make the most of what I have. I have a compost pile started and I'm going to be making a worm bin and bokashi composter
