Our Wall Tent

Our first big project was building a platform and installing this Wall Tent from the nice folks at https://www.walltentshop.com/.   We LOVE how it turned out.  

Bee Keeping!

We completed a Bee Keeping 101 class in January and picked up our first 2 nucs at the end of April, 2022.   The bees seem to be thriving in their new home.   

Dakota Fire Pit

After many rabbit holes researching on the internet, we came across a way to reduce smoke at your basic campfire – yes please!  And so we build a Dakota Fire Pit.   Game Changer. 

Read our Post here to find out how we did it.  

The Farm House

We were extremely fortunate to be able to purchase the 2 bedroom farmhouse right next door to the original land we bought.   We are slowly fixing it up but it is so nice to have the house as a home base.  

Rain Fly

We recently added a rain fly to the main Wall Tent with an extended porch area.   This will protect the tent long term and creates more shade on the deck.  

Bright Red Tractor

We got a brand new Kubota L2501DT Tractor with a front loader, grapple attachment, bush hog and land grader.  YeeHaw!!! 

Skoolie!!

We have long desired to convert an old school bus into a living/sleeping structure for the farm.   Follow along on this adventure as we progress – starting Fall 2021.  

Update Dec 2021 :  Seats are out and floor insulation/installation is next 🙂

Tractor Shelter

We built a rain shelter for the tractor in the trees

Wood Splitter

Swinging an axe is hard!!!!  So we got this handy contraption from Harbor Freight and now I can split wood with ease.  

Guinea Fowl Coop

The main benefit of raising guinea fowl is that they eat TICKS!  So we decided to give it a try and built ourselves a coop in the woods.  

Update Dec 2021:  One lone guinea has survived and has happily taken up roost living alongside our neighbor’s small horse near the creek!   We are pleased it found a home there and we will try our hand again next spring.
