I love your plan. Your homestead is a few years ahead of My wife and I (maybe less but we have to move from my current 53 acres, the local township doesn't want to allow farming anymore)
I am planning to get 80 plus acres in a more rural farming friendly area of West or Northern Michigan and also as you say "Permaculture the hell out of it" Reading your posts is making it worthwhile to join Steemit all by itself. Looking forward to more, keep up the great work!
Thanks for the support!
I find it odd that the township wouldn't allow farming on 53 acres. Where do you live now?
