Random BS





So this is a satellite image of our property as you can see there is a creek that runs across the front and a small plateau in the back. From what I gather the creek is seasonal but until a well is dug we will be incorporating water storage tanks and collection, for us and the animals. My biggest concern is for my alligator making sure he gets enough heat and light. Running off of solar and propane we will have to rely on the windows for UV light and with a little extra insulation from a straw or hay wrap we should be good. My gators name is cuddles and will be the first critter set up for or little zoo. However there will be no petting him. We are considering several animal for this part of the business but haven't really decided on anything final yet. Likely we will talk to people in the area and get a feel for what they would like to see and get close to.


I have started a couple types of apple trees from seed, the cherry didn't take, and will be putting a small green house on the land where I will grow these trees and some other garden items for consumption including herbs and likely some tuber vegetables.


We will have a couple of chickens and ducks for eggs and eventually meat.


There is a lot to consider and more to do we have started several lists and think of more stuff every day. I am looking forward to the hard work ahead .
