We just bought an old farmhouse in Pennsylvania that still has 9 acres, includes a small orchard and vineyard. My girl wants chickens and rabbits. I’m thinking a couple of steers next spring when I’ve had time to get good fencing up.
I grew up with cattle and worked on a tater farm through highschool.
We mostly just want to produce our own meat. Venison should be much easier.
The apple trees need a lot of TLC as does the vineyard.
I’ll be in the market for a small tractor. As long as it is running, I should be able to fix it up and keep it going.
Best of luck to you. We are on an old homestead and although none of the original buildings remain we did get several 100 year old apple trees. Not great producers (usually every other year is good) but tasty.
