to have a self-sustaining garden. I've been thinking alot about houses, land, acres, farms and pretty much about everything and all related to creating a space of beauty and bounty. So, now comes a list. Hopefully followed by pictures of the current veg box later.
1. Now - A house with at least 1/4 - 1/2 acre of land
2. Eventually - A house with about 5-15 acres (Does this sound like too much? Could one get lost on this much land?)
2. A large assortment of raised beds hosting veggie gardens & small fruit plants (ie. strawberries, blueberries, blackberries) - the goal here is to avoid shopping for all berry & veggie produce
3. A small assortment of espalier fruit trees, including apple, pear & peach
4. Chickens (of the hen type, probably just a small assortment, probably no more than 5)
5. A goat or two
6. Horses. Absolutely. Probably 2-4 that can roam, mow the lawn and be ridden
7. More than anything, land of my own to beautify, transform into a variety of different 'garden rooms,' play spaces and host sites for animals
