Hi Welcome from Eastern Germany, living here has shown me what is possible and maybe I COULD have done more where we used to live by renting a field or?? You only learn that you can/can't do something by trying.

Our old John Seymour book is very grubby and well read. Seing evidence of neighbours old and unsused rabbit hutches, chicken runs, pig yards etc done it for me. Our plan was to just keep chickens.Within 6 months of living on an old fermette the evidence around us of the life John Seymour described was so strong that we found ourselves ( accidentally) with a smallholding and are now providers of all our own eggs,meat,veg and most fruit. "It happens" as Forrest Gump would say.  fed up of rain though.
