Am in the process of buying a 2.5 acre homestead. Not the large acreage dream but a stepping stone no less.
My question is other then chickens and maybe a turkey or two for the upcoming years holidays what else can be raised on a small lot. Plan on doing the garden thing.
Previous owner had 2 horses but with only about 1/2 acre of pasture area I don't think it will support any grazers.
Property description is 1/2 acre house and yard for kids, 1/2 acre of old horse area and about 1.5 acre of trees.
Not a real big interest in rabbits. Goats might work in the trees and horse area but not sure if I'm up to milking 7 days a week. A pig or to would help the freezer in the fall but have been warned about having pigs around young kids (3, 2 and 1 due in april).
Thanks in advance.
