18 months to two years - I know it will go by fast, but for the moment, it seems like forever before we actually move. So, here are some ramblings on "what I would do with 15 acres" and what type of land I might desire.
- Grow enough corn to feed me, my chickens, my pigs and even enough to share with some of the wildlings
- A green house
- Dragonfly perches
- Grow hundreds of sunflowers
- Grow open pollinated plants and save seeds
- 1/3 woods, 1/3 pastures, a large, fenced garden
- pond
- piles of leaves
- brush pile and other natural habitats (to house the very critters I am trying to keep out of my garden!!!)
- Heritage breed livestock
- tracktored chickens
- Rotational pasture
- large compost pile
- apple orchard
- small mixed orchard of pears, peaches, nectarines
- hedge rows

By the way, the photo is a picture of Ozark Beauty strawberries, mulched with shredded junk mail and tinged red by early autumn frost.
