This is about our adventure in Homesteading in Dayton Nevada. We have a small farm of about 3 acres that includes an orchard and some Goats at this time. I hope to have chickens in place soon.
Update Summer 2023
We now have 19 chickens on the property and have capped out at 13 Goats.
We are starting with what the previous owners had put together and working from there. There are a few things on the farm side are in need of rebuilding or repair. There is some fencing that is old and broken down inside the perimter that I want to eventually replace for isolation purposes. Add an additional shelter to make two areas for isolation. Found that the barn leaks quite a bit in heavy rain or snow melt so I am going to do some roof repair there.
The orchard is also in need of irrigation because watering by hand is time consuming and not practical for us. I also put in a cross fence to keep the goats out as they will destroy the trees.
The chicken coop is in pretty good shape and just in need of some minor work around the gate to make a better solution to keep them in there.
As we go through this adventure, these pages and the YouTube channel will be updated (hopefully) to document our steps.
