I have a large property but I the effort and money I have to put into turning it into some kind of homestead is probably not worth the pay off. Frankly, I don't see myself as having the motivation or interest to do any kind of homesteading. Only thing I've done is plant a bunch of fruits trees here and there and built a chicken house but I got no chickens yet.
I have a field but I rent out to my neighbor who uses it to make hay for his cattle

I was once travelling in oregon and entered into a freeway entrance that led me to this street with nothing but huge gates for what id assume were ranches. I didnt get to see them properly, since the driveway went uphill, but i could only imagine how nice the houses were. This looks like a very cozy set up.

I live this way. I love it. it feeds my body, mind and sovl. it is also grueling, stressful and it prevents us (married) from making full retirement contributions. we owe $74,500 on our mortgage and $75k on our land. total homestead is worth $350k. its a good investment; gotta have somewhere to live and it does feed us... but the market returns 12%-20% recently (pre-iraq). our mortgage is 5.12% 27yrs left and our land is at 1.5% 12yrs left. so you can see we chose the lower return by the numbers.our electricity is $30-$50/mo because we have a DIY solar system with battery storage. no water hill, no sewage, no trash, and we only pay ~$225/yr in propane.its not for everyone, but it works for us. there are better investments, but its about lifestyle and self-reliance for us.

Built a mobile duck coop.we keep 3 varieties: Muscovy, Harlequin & Silver Appleyards. we have 2 stationary/permanent duck coops. we built this one for the muscovys since they will wander off if allowed too much freedom & time. let's them forage and touch grass without destroying the ground. we just move it every other day. the Apples & Harleys just get let out to free range, they stay reliably close to home roost.

It's easy to start off and want to fill in gaps when trees are small.
I have a 20 yearold walnut thats just started to take off in the last 5 years and has gone from a 15 foot canopy to a 30.

actual homesteading is miserable
unless you just want to larp with a few tomatoes in summer and a coop of chicken
growing any staple is completely wasted time
especially if you want to feed your animals as well

I have atleast one rotten egg in my incubator and it stinks like a mother fucker.
Im going to "sniff test" each egg and hopefully find it.
I have to get rid of it before it explodes in the incubator.
If it explodes in my face im going to have a very bad night.So this isn't normally an issue. If an egg isnt fertilized and it sits in the incubator for 21 days @ 99° it just....sits there. (Theres some exceptions like a cracked shell causing bacterial inclusion).
This issue is because I had a bunch of broody hens that I got tired of (because other hens lay their eggs in the same nest box- they'll dog pile ontop of eachother even though there's 10 other identical nest boxes so now I have fresh eggs mixed with eggs that have "kicked off").
So its a tiny little rotting corpse thats cooking and off-gassing and building pressure in a grenade made out of calcium.
Im at this point because I cant just throw eggs in the garbage if they're "gestating". But its difficult to tell from candling if an egg started to grow then stopped and died because it rolled out from under the hen because there was more eggs added.
I had 2 of these "bonus" chics hatch today that other people probably would have tossed in the garbage so I feel at peace with the universe.I think I need one more beer before I dive in.
This isnt my first time. Ive had eggs explode in my hand before. It happens when theyre at max pressure and get jossled or have temperature shift (like taking it out of the 99° incubator into my 71° hallway).Fuck.
I dont wanna do this....

1- This isn't enough food to sustain even a single person.
2- you would get much more food by converting the livestock zone by more vegetable gardens (livestock take, was it something like 7 times more land to produce the same amount of food?)
3- on that subject, how are you feeding your livestock? That area isn't even large enough to sustain a single cow.But yeah, I feel you. I do too. Just double the land and cover all of it in vegetables, and I think you might have something...

I have 10 acres. I have 12 citrus trees, 3 peach trees and three pear trees. Productive wild black berries are all along the sunny edges of my grass areas. I have worked up a nice garden spot. I have not put in a garden for the last few years because the deer and rabbits eat everything before I get to harvest it.
I have rolls of fencing and posts to install to protect the garden from deer and rabbits but I have not put it up yet because it is an eyesore.
My property is an an area surrounded by national forest and my western property line is bordered by a 200 acre state wildlife sanctuary.
My income exceeds my expenses so I am not pressured to produce. I simply plant a new tree every now and then and enjoy my property.
What I am saying is you can plant trees and berry bushes and enjoy your property. The trucks have not stopped running yet.

It's feasible if you have some source of passive income, but if you're thinking you can live like that - an off-grid, completely self-sustaining lifestyle, it's going to be a big nope.

Here's some fun facts:A "variety" of a plant is naturally occuring.
So that Maypop (passion fruit) you found at the edge of the forest is from nature. It "breeds true"- planting seeds just creates more Maypops like you've already found.A "cultivar" is a man-made variant or cross or random genetic mutation or etc.
They do not breed true and if you plant the seeds you get randomness that willl eventually coalesce to the "wild type".
A Honeycrisp apple is an example.
Every Honeycrisp apple tree is a clone (cutting) that originated from a single parent plant (pic).EVERY named cultivar is from a cutting from the parent plant.
It might have been "rooted".
It might have been "grafted".
It might have been a cutting from a tree that was grown for years and a cutting taken for a new sapling that grew into a tree and a cutting from that taken...
It might have been 100 "trees" before it made it to your local nursery.
But its still clonal material."Don Juan" rose.
"Stewart" pecan.
"Meyer" lemon.Those are all clones that you can trace back to 1 single parent plant.Don't Juan was cultivated for its prolific blooms of deep red, fragrant and abundant flowers.
>wild type roses have 5 pedals and bloom once a year.Meyer was cultivated for its constant flowering and production of large, sweet lemons.
>wild type lemons are bitter and smallStewart was cultivated for its large and meaty nuts.
>wild type have 75% less meat
