Without a doubt, planning is the hardest part abou

Without a doubt, planning is the hardest part about homesteading for me (Rori).I am beyond Type B personality, I am Type F- lol. I can barely plan one day ahead. While this was a quirky and whimsical way to live before kids and homestead life, its not really serving me anymore.So Im changing and growing in order to thrive! In order to have a more productive homestead with a closed loop.Luckily we learned what did and didnt work in our 2000 sq meter homestead, and can apply that to our 5 hectare (!!!) Ranch that is located 3 minutes walkinh from our small ranch.The plan is to have a Native Plant Nursery open on weekends and a micro herb farm. There will be pathways throughout the already established food forest that lead to the greenhouse, nursery and eventually, apothecary and herb drying room!We learned right away how important it is to make money off of the resources we already have (aka not going to town to work). So the next step after planning is more hard work and never letting go of the dream until its accomplished ♡Pic on left is the Before! We cant wait to show you the After picture!
