This is more personal than I usually like to get online, but in the next couple of years I would like to buy a small farm with a house for living in. I'm looking at between 2 and 10 acres. It will likely be in the US states of WV, KY, PA, or OH.
Financially I am prepared as I will ever be but logistically I know nothing. I am prepared to wait a couple years for the right property. Cross your fingers.
I will certainly have a few animals, but the majority of my ideas, wishes, and dreams involve having a large greenhouse and other plant spaces including a sitting garden full of roses, and planted walk-in aviary. I will also have religious/spiritual space but no commercial space--ie, I don't want to buy/sell/trade anything.
My question here is:
With gardening, plants, and horticulture specifically in mind what is your advice?
I have seen tons of guides that are geared toward people who are buying a farm for profit, people who are farming animals, or people who are buying a home without a farm.
I have had trouble finding any advice for people who are buying the farm with the primary goal of personal garden building. But I can't be the only one who has ever done this.
Any advice from people who have done this will be most helpful. I know it's a very broad question. Feel free to PM me as well.
Thank you, plant nerds! <3
