Attempting to homestead is one of my main goals, but to be honest, I jump all over the place with ideas on what to do next. What I have learned though, is that I need to start out slow, and actually try to finish one homesteading goal before moving on to another!
Along with 3 indoor dogs and 2 indoor cats, we have a few outdoor critters you would typically find on a small homestead nowadays.
Right now, these are the major homesteading animal projects.
**Chickens
**Ducks
**Bees

Gardening on the homestead is a large, ever evolving project. Laying out the groundwork so we have garden boxes and trees that will produce food is full of big decisions. Right now we have a few apple trees, a pear tree, mulberry trees, and wild black raspberry bushes that were already on the property when we purchased it.
We have added strawberry garden boxes, blueberry bushes, and red raspberry bushes.
We have a mixed flock.
We currently have two Saskatraz hives.
We have 3 Pekins, 3 Black Runners, and 4 Khaki Campbells.
We have 1 black New Zealand/Californian Mixed Buck we call Obsidian, or Obi for short.
What we hope to plant in Spring 2020.
Things to put in the ground in 2019.
We have five 4×8 foot planter boxes with a mix of June-bearing and Ever-bearing strawberries.
We have a small collection of blueberry and red raspberry bushes.
The property came with wild black raspberry bushes, apple trees, a pear tree, and mulberry trees.
