OK, thank you for all your responses. I have my social workers, RN's and
security, daycare staff and teachers, a minister/ counselor all set up. We
are starting the construction next week on our underground tornado shelter
that will also be our canning pantry. We currently have our fundraiser going
at http://wandersend.org and have been on the front page of our local paper,
with talks of us also being featured on the local news.We have also enlisted
volunteers farmers to help with our set up and they are donating the
livestock and feed. What I was asking for was an outline on the setup of a
homestead farm from scratch for the needs of the animals. Tools, stockyards,
medicines to have on hand, maybe day to day chore lists for animal husbandry.
We have no barns yet, so that would need to be considered also and I was
wanting to know what to put in them , possible floorplan ideas. We do have a
greenhouse almost complete for the herbs, and only 3 acres that is tillable
for our vegetable gardens. Our orchards and bees are to be in the 5 acres of
woods mingling with the native trees that are left after we thin them out.
The livestock will also be roaming there on a rotation basis.
Thanks,
Ivy Bickl~Founder
