Our rural version of an agri-hood here in the Ozarks.
I have 8 acres here and can drive 15 miles to get to the Amish farm store for produce or another farm that has an inspected slaughter facility where I can buy beef/pork/chicken raised and processed on the farm.
We like our hood sprawling and well separated. No subdivision life.
I’m also growing my own tomatoes and pole beans this year and have seen a lot of new veggie gardens around here.
You have been busy making so many improvements! Everything will pay big dividends in food and easier labor in the future.
I spend a LOT of time ‘thinking’ about making life easier for myself as I grow older. All ‘shortcuts’ are welcome, as far as I’m concerned. :)
