Hi all, I stumbled onto your site while doing some online research for our new retirement property where we intend to permanently relocate in two years once we get our finances sorted. Firstly, what a great site and resource! I am looking forward to learning from the experiences of others here and sharing our journey. We have purchased an old dairy farm in northern Tasmania and hope to run it as a small venture with cattle, specialty chickens and bees. One of our interests has always been working horses which we have done for the last 30 years on our current property in Victoria.

Getting excited for the future

My wife and I are just going through the motions to purchase our very own property.  14 acres with a lovely home.

 

We have some big plans.  Raising some cows, chooks, very large veggie beds, fruit trees, grapes, is just the start.  Really want to become self-sufficient.  It's a bit of a dream come true to start this.

 

Looking forward to visiting this site and getting lots of information, share ideas and the progress.

 

Simon.

Hello,

 

My partner and I are in the process of buying a small acreage on the mid-North coast of NSW. We have found a propery we like and going through the motions of making an offer. We are from Sydney so this is very new to us.

 

I'm looking forward to learning about appropriate livestock, farming practices, gardening and sustainability with our new lifestyle. We will need to secure some work to start with and hopefully be less reliant on later on.

Introduction to the community

Hi all very happy to have discovered this gem, I have for the last 4-5 years been raising Rabbits and Ducks and the occasional rooster for meat and livestock in our small property at Seacombe heights, by far the rabbits have been the best and most enjoyable and least hassle of all the animals.

New member just saying hi

Hi just joined up and have a small farm in Kandanga Qld called Wallenbeen which means Stoney ridge. Just had about 70 mm of rain over a few days so everything is looking well. We wish to breed small breed cattle. We have been building infastructure and improving place with grasses and fencing. We have a couple of  PB Dexter heifers, a Murray Grey/dexter heifer (Beautiful) and a Dexter/angus Steer. we grow our own veges and have our our own free range chickens.  Look forward to picking up a few tips and learning a lot from the members

Cheers Chief

Introduction

Hi, my wife and I are hoping this will be the answer to our retirement. We are both sick of working for THE MAN and wish to start a small farm down around Cowra way. It's all new to us and we are ready for some adventure. We just want to have a farm that will make us 90 % self sufficient by growing vegetables, herbs and some fruit and by raising some cattle, and chooks.

Hi from Sydney

Hi, I'm Sam

 

I'm investigating buying a farm in the Nabiac / Taree area and really have no idea what I'm doing.  Have always lived in the city.  Can anyone suggest a book to read / course to do that woudl give me a starting point at what I should be looking at.  The only things I've though of are water availability and soil condition.

Thanks

Sam
