I feel truly blessed on this property. The previous owners had a rather large garden, as well as MANY rows of blackberry plants already established. Several varieties of grapes, a handful of very well producing peach trees, fig trees, persimmon trees, loquat trees, etc...

  It really is perfect. Not to mention it already has gated fenced pastures with many outbuildings present. 





 Is it "perfect" for the "perfect" "100% self sufficient" homestead? Of course not. But then
what is? That's the question on all of our minds, Isn't it?
But it IS perfect for me and my family. And really THAT is all that matters. Everything else can come later. While being 100% self sufficient would be awesome, I'm shooting for a more realistic goal. Just to be able to produce SOME of what we need to survive. ;)
