They bought 100 acres in 1973, they were 21 years old. They had it plowed up and they planted grain. They made the 1891 barn livable in one room while they built their passive solar board and baton house and more or less started with just a few sheep. They now raise pastured beef, chickens, pork and work with draft horses. Their barn is full of old belt threshers and horse-powered equipment. They barter with their Amish neighbours. They inherited an apple orchard, and just grow enough vegetables for themselves.
They more or less do... exactly what I want to do...
Well, some of it... I am young and full of dreams after all.
