Intro from a city guy

Hello there :)

I'm Jason and long story short I am desperatly wanting to begin/establish a profitable farming venture. I currently live in a semi-rural suburb here in Perth and that coupled with previous exposure to farming lifestyle has fanned an inferno from what what was perpertualy smouldering embers.

I love the rural lifestyle, and there aren't words to describe my love and desire to go back to a more centered "self-sufficient" type of living. I kind of equat this to the "Fusion" period of cooking that I was exposed to when doing my training in kitchens and think that it is prevalent today in a rural/farming lifestyle with some digital age additions.

I'm currently keen as all hell for a "tree-change" and am eager to learn everything this community has to offer me, and I hope in the future to teach some new members what I've learnt and experienced. I am looking for a lifestyle property but I want it to be productive as well, end goal is a "gourmet farm" in-which I've chosen a couple of key markets to approach.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you are well.

Lastly.. in doing research for my venture.. I want to capitilize on as much passive solar/water gains as I can, my research indicates these are area's in which farmers seem to battle with.. especially water.. so was wondering if it's possible to connect ALL gutters from buildings to water tanks/dam/s?.. I have a mudmap of my building layout for what I would like to do and have a massive amount of roof space potential to capture rainfall.. was curious what everyone else thought?.

Thank you again and hope to chat with you all very soon.

Kind Regards,

Jason.

Hi Jason,

Welcome to the forum, it's great to have you part of the community.

It sounds like you have a sound set of goals to achieve your dream. Connecting all of the gutters from the building to tank and or dams is a sound decision. You can never have too much water. It seems like such a waste when there is a good rainfall event and you see rain water tanks over flowing and water going to waste.

Be sure to come back, ask any questions and keep us posted on how your dream of a tree change and self sufficient lifestyle is progressing.

Regards,
Charlie
