Produce: Last year we had a small garden, which we plan to triple this year. Our goal is to produce as much fresh food as possible, as well as set up a small farm stand on our property near the road to sell our excess produce. I will also be doing more canning this year, particularly jams, to preserve our harvests and have extra canned goods to sell. We plan to remove some old, dead, or diseased trees on the property to make way for several young fruit trees and several flowering trees, to provide food for us and our bees.
Property improvement: In addition to removing and replanting some trees, we have a large pile of dead tree branches and scraps that we'd like to turn into mulch. We also plan to run electricity out to the barn so that we can have better lighting and heated water bowls for the livestock.
Renovations: There will always be a variety of little projects around the place, but the big ones planned for this year include the master bedroom, master bathroom, and office/craft room. The bedrooms won't take nearly as much work as the bathroom - that will be a major overhaul. How exciting!
What are your goals for this year?
