Beautiful... so how many acres and what do you produce on the land?
The wife wants to move to Florida because my sons having our 1st grandson. If I do that then I want to have a few acres to resume raising chickens, maybe a horse or two and a few dogs. Problem I got no idea where to do that!

Careful before you buy. Zoning rules and neighborhood associations may limit what you want to do.
peace to you
Like EWF said beautiful but that is to early for me to get up and besides I'm a retired suburbanite... Brother Glen
Nonsense, you are a Marine!Like EWF said beautiful but that is to early for me to get up and besides I'm a retired suburbanite... Brother Glen
That’s why I need to find a place that will not crowd me in. My wife raised horses most of her life... it would be nice to have her train my future grandkids. Me I like fresh eggs for breakfast! Horse and chicken manure are great fertilizers for my plants.

Sounds like a great plan. I have a neighbor that brings around fresh eggs. He has a couple dozen chickens and can’t begin to eat all the eggs.That’s why I need to find a place that will not crowd me in.

Yea... especially when they are young they can produce 4-5 per day. Me I just like having them around and I can’t say enough for the Road Island Red breed. Strong in every way, beautiful red color, intelligent... exceptional in every way. My rooster will look a hawk straight in the eye and will do battle if he gets the opportunity
Nonsense, you are a Marine!
A former Marine I am... A farmer I'm not!
( no offence to you farmer brethren)... You do the growing, I'll do the buying... Brother Glen
We're only on 7 acres for now at 3500ft. Working on getting more. Our primary commercial product is Pasture Raised Chicken and then Thanksgiving Turkeys. We have on average ~400 to 500 Cornish cross chickens during Summer, 50 BBW Turkeys, and then we have 115 laying hens (15 Rhode Island Reds and 100 Amberlinks).
We also raise a batch of 2-4 feeder pigs that I kill and process each year with our neighbors, which is how we get our pork for the year and we have several raised beds and garden plots for our veggies. We grow about 80% of what we eat.
Close! We're between of Whitetop, VA and Lansing, NC. Booming towns of ~400 and ~150 respectively.
That's our neighbor's horses. That land has been in their family since around the 1700s.
We harvested these carrots, green beans and onions today from our garden plots. We cut, blanched and froze them. We'll eat on them through the winter.

Reminds me of the old cartoon where HENRY HAWK was always trying to capture the rooster, FOGHORN LEGHORN; Henry being about 1/5 the size of F. Leghorn. Henry was small, but he had tremendous confidence in his "HAWKING" talents.
Cool... I’ve been looking into growing Christmas trees (in Florida) ... put in a few Leyland Cypress cause allot of the trees I know and love won’t grow in that hot humid sandy environment but cypress grows about 4 feet a year and in Florida. I also grow vegetables but there and again what grows in Florida? This is all predicated on my wife and giving her joy before anything happens and if I can do it, if God gives me the strength, I will. My own wish is to take my grandchildren to Church... there is a Primitive Baptist one in Winter Garden that’s just lovely.
