Looking for a homestead to provide for my family and also provide for our community.
Plan
My plan is to develop a homestead, something that can provide for my family and give back to the community. Me and my wife have three children and prioritize raising them with healthy living and learning to be self sufficient off of the land. We have had our own garden for 3 years, organically grown and strive to be as organic and natural as we can. We have only had chickens and ducks but look forward to growing our livestock with cows & goats one day. We are primarily looking to own. Our main goal in life to honor God in all we do and part of doing this for us is to create our homestead and we hope to find the perfect spot for our family.

Preferred type of opportunity
Opportunity details
Me and my wife have rented from her grandparents for 5 years. My wife is a stay at home mom of our 3 children and I am the sole provider. My dream is to be able to be at home more with my family and us working together on our farm. Our dream is to have land and a house that we can farm on and afford but it’s hard to find in today’s economy being on one income. We live within our means and are praying to find a good fit.
