The list

What I call "the list" is a series of plans and dreams for the future. This is a list of animals I hope to have (both pets and livestock), as well as the plants I intend to grow. I will start small and continually work my way up to the larger critters and homesteading goals. I have not yet decided what breeds or varieties to keep in most cases, but as I do I will refine the list and change it as I see fit.

I'll go into more depth for some of these in future blog posts.

What I have now: 

Cat (back in MN) - Willow
Rats - Raven, Misty, and Poe

Skunk 

Chickens

Long term goals:

Plants

What I have now:

What I want:

Long term goals:

Ultimate farm goal: Sell produce and farm products at the farmer's market, breed and sell animals, grow and provide much of my own food for myself and my family, and live a life close to nature and in tune with the seasons. If possible, someday I would love to run a small bed and breakfast at the farm as well.

It's a big list, but I know each and every one of these things is attainable if I work hard and stay focused. Big things are coming!
