It’s been now 5 years since we started our urban farm. It’s definitely had it’s ups and downs, and some crazy experiences for sure. We’ve had chickens get eaten by coyotes and/or hawks, sheep & goats mating to produce geeps, and we’ve had some downright crazy hilarious goat births.
Homesteading on our little urban farm has been an adventure, but one I wouldn’t trade for anything. Well, except for one perfect garden harvest. What I wouldn’t give for just one year to have all our vegetables be equally plentiful!
This post is for you, homesteader. Whether you’re just starting out on a small urban farm, or you have acreage to make even the Man from Snowy River jealous, this one’s for you. Enjoy.

The nopenopenopenope one and the polar bear killed me! This post is so good!
This is too good!
I absolutely love your blog.. Excellent colors & theme. Did you make this web site yourself?
Please reply back as I’m planning to create my
very own site and would like to learn where you got this from or just what the
theme is named. Thanks!
Very funny indeed!
Not being critical, but as the owner of both goats and sheep, that animal in #11 is a Katahdin hair sheep. It’s an honest mistake if you’re not familiar with both species.
I think she knows and was just using it to show what it’s really like but not saying it’s a goat
This is fantastic! We all enjoyed it thoroughly! Thanks for the good laugh!
Oh goodness is this funny! Thank you, it was hilarious.
I laughed till I cried! This was truly funny!!! Thanks for the good belly laugh, I needed it:)
LOVED this! I’m currently at “Your confidence level before you first milk your goat (or cow).” All that should change in about a month when mama cow calves- LOL!
Hilarious!
Thanks, I needed a laugh.
This is too good! This is our first year with homesteading and we’ve had many of those looks on our faces in the last few months. We haven’t gotten to experience all the firsts that you’ve shown here, but I look forward to them and the hilarious looks they are sure to put on our faces!
Haha! The polar bear killed me! And I’m totally with you on the garden harvest DaNelle! What I wouldn’t give to have everything produce equally well.
