RE: This is Us...We are Eliana's Garden. Sharing, living, learning all things forest and homestead.
Hi and thank you!! Very glad to be here and looking forward to becoming a active member of this growing community!
Youre welcome, I followed you as well, looking forward to see and read beautiful content from you, by the way farming in 200 acres forest is cool but a very big tasks.
YES!!! A huge task! It is roughly 70% forest with the rest luscious pasture. We decided to embrace the opportunity primarily for the forest as we grow specialty forest products like ginseng, ramps, mushrooms, etc. Much of it will be left wild for foraging, species habitats, or hunting outside of the farming. The fields we are planning to pasture a rotation of heritage cattle and chickens. It's all still in the planning stages but will manifest more and more as we move into next year. (it is head spinning! lol) Here at the homestead we have so many plans being developed while others are still being planned. Exciting times ahead and chances are that we won't be able to do it all alone.
