My Christmas present to myself...I rented a farm
 

I just rented a small farm. It even has a little apartment above one of the barns so I can stay there whenever I want. We are going to have some cows, chickens, goats, and grow a few acres of veggies. There is also a nice big greenhouse as well. There are pheasants and ducks all over the place. It is a real farm because it smells like cow shit as there is a dairy farm just down the road. We are going to get started with the chickens and cows first and will be looking for some nice goats in a month or two. The neighbors have herd of alpacas. Life is good.

I took a picture of the alpacas but this picture on the net is basically the same thing so I don't have to upload mine

Farms are a lot of work,too much

That is why it is very small. But yes will still be a lot of work. My kid will make some money selling the food at farmers markets and some will be donated. We already did this the last two summers just on a smaller scale.

HAhahahah, it seems like you will have a lot of fun there... :)

Webmaster doing farm work...that wont end well lol

fuck man that alpacas are sexy! :thumbsup great move from gfy to farm, congrats! :thumbsup

Ostriches! They dont need much and they taste great ;)

Make sure your fences are in tip top shape. Goats are escape artists. We had 4 goats when I was a kid and I swear I spent half my time chasing them down when they got out of the pasture.

can you smoke what you produce ?

I will a have a satellite out there. And I am not living there just maybe on weekends. This is just a hobby farm.

You shouldve bought it instead ��

I would buy PS4 AND GTA5 instead :)

no because the farmland that is close in to the city is way too expensive and will be turned into housing developments in the next 10 years. If I wanted to buy a farm it would have to be a farther drive and then it would not be convenient for me to tend to it. I can get there in 20 minutes from my house. Some Microsoft exec rents the rest of the farm and has some workers there who can keep an eye on things as well so it works out good.

That sounds like a lot of fun. Farms are hard work (even small ones), but I always find them relaxing, and enjoy being around the animals.

get a couple of beehives ...

:winkwink:

How much to ride one for an hour?

Lots of free manure... Nice... :thumbsup

nice stuff :)

No pun intended. :winkwink:

Seems like a lot of work effort for something that can be sold right from under you by the owner

I can just load up the animals in a trailer and move them to the next farm. I can actually keep them at my property where I live if I need to. Many of my neighbors have horses and chickens. I just don't want the rodents or the smell here. There is enough bear poop all over the place already. The guy who owns it has had it for 25 years and has no plans to sell it soon. I just want to get a couple of years out of it. I am also buying a shitty old work truck so my truck does not get smelly. Seriously the farm smells like shit.

This is my dream.

bone appetite

I would say adult webmaster rents farm with cows, chickens, goats, ducks....THAT wont end well:thumbsup

Vikingman should let his homeless friend Dave shack up with the alpacas.

well feeding and making sure animals are healthy is a lot of work. i had to tube feed a couple of my turkeys because they got out and messed with my be hives. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

i have a small 50 hive bee apiary. do pollen and honey
