My retirement micro farm

Donation protected
In 2016 I suffered through a pretty bad heat stroke. This eventually cost me my job and most of my savings. My wife and I have been growing as many different varieties of berries and herbs as we can in our front yard which has become very crowded. Our plan is to fence in our back yard and begin terracing as it is presently a very long narrow hillside. At the bottom will be a small duck pond as we have Pekin ducks now. I will be doing all of the labor and using my old tractor for the landscape changes. I hope to show that a beautiful yard need not be a sterile golfcourse green. We plan to supply friends and family with healthy home grown vegetables and herbs while enjoying a lush productive back yard. I am currently employed only part time and while I'm good at barely getting by.My bills are all paid. I have no reserve left to work with to achieve this dream. The need for extra income is immediate and our gratitude for any assistance is beyond words. If anyone has questions about plants, animals, cooking, or whatever. We will do our best to answer any questions you may have. At age 60 I've a great deal of varied experience behind me. Thank you so much for reading my story and I do hope you will join me to achieve the conversion of a hillside into a micro farm.
