Overview

So.  Where is this little story at?

I buy 15 acres not too far from my current job.  Plant an orchard of fruit trees for the human.  Supplement the forest area with oak, fruit and nut trees for the pig area.  Plant the human garden.  Two summers readying the 2-acre pasture.  A season growing corn, soybeans, alfalfa and wheat and an over-winter of silage.  Purchase the heifer (and bull?) and train to pasture.  Purchase chickens (in egg?) and raise to pasture behind the cow rotation.  At 1-year, breed cow and begin dairy production.  Continue growing/harvesting/rotating crops to support livestock (and human) and turn dairy into cheese, butter, etc.  At some point I quit my day job, and probably die of exhaustion soon after!
