Baymule’s Journal

[farmerjan]

Hello! I can’t begin to express enough to you the gratitude I feel. Reading this post helps me understand you and your journey on a new level. Tears are welling up in my eyes as I type this out. @Baymule i know the heart and soul you and your husband put into that property. Saw it with our own eyes yesterday. I pray that we are able to make you proud with everything we do w the farm. I pray nothing but happiness follows you wherever the road takes you! Here for you always!

Hello and
. It is really nice that someone who wants to become more self-reliant and sustainable is going to continue on with the place that @Baymule and her beloved BJ started. There is ALOT of time and effort that has gone into that place and you are going to go into something that has a great start. It seems that things happen for a reason and I am glad that you are qualified for purchasing the place. Sometimes things just fall into place as it seems this has.

There are several of us that have journals, and some, like @Baymule that spent many years just commenting on others posts and then like she just started her own journal. It would be great if you start a journal, tell us a little about yourself and family, and what and why you decided to do this. Although I know she is moving some of the equipment with her for her sheep to a new place, there is quite a bit there that will be a real boon to your getting going. The barn and the pig "palace" she called it, and good perimeter fencing which is soooo important, will all help get you started.... and all of us on here are GREAT ENABLERS.....

I personally am volunteering to enable you to buy more sheep, or any other livestock, because the more the merrier! So excited you will be joining our merry band of adventurers on BYH. Welcome.

Thank you for the encouragement everyone! I have a learned a lot over the last couple years and that is the only people we can count on is ourselves (I mean that w respect). I want to teach my children that we can be self sufficient and not have to worry when the “market” crashes cause we are taken care of with what we raise! I’m also tired of not being w them and fighting the “electronics”! I look forward to building a legacy with them there! We are going to be starting from the ground up with Isabelle and Rosie of course. I currently have a rescued Indian horse named Legend and a new lgd puppy who has yet to be named that @Baymule will be so graciously helping us get started. My lifelong dream has been this farm. We are starting small but overtime it will be amazing!

@Baymule has spent a huge amount of time, labor and love making the garden area productive!! Use it! Yrs have been saved for your enjoyment of fresh veggies...teach the children to garden. You'll have an amazing amount of healthy food.

Welcome to the forum.

 

[Ridgetop]

Be sure to start your own journal telling us about yourself and your family. Then you can tell us about your experiences with your own piece of heaven as you continue the work Bay and BJ started.

We are all looking forward to finding out your story.

Once everything is finalized I will be doing just that! Looking forward to learning as much as I can. I’m green when it comes to this lifestyle but I have a willingness to learn so there’s that! Kids and I are already working on what to plant when in that beautiful garden!!

Coming to Texas for month of February to do work on Yantis ranch, and help Baymule move. Looking forward to meeting you if possible.

You will find an outstanding network of friends here and on Theeasygarden.com and on sufficientself.com

By all means, when @Ridgetop and her husband are here, y’all will have to meet them!

Plus @Devonviolet lives near Winnsboro and y’all can meet her too. They have Mytonic goats and raise a garden. She does lots of herbal remedies, she is brilliant that way.

Sheba loves cantankerous ol’ Ringo. He rumbles and swings his head at her, but I think he loves her too.
