I should probably start at the beginning with an introduction. We are sycle (a.k.a. Tim), his wife Betty, and myself (Toni). Our happy little family is rounded out by four cats (Hiro, Shadow, Thor, and Tilt) that just tolerate each others presence, and a rather highly strung Great Dane named Odin. About a year ago we purchased 28 acres of land in the tiny town of Scott’s Hill, TN, just southeast of Jackson. It’s been a slow start but this will become our farmstead and place to which we will retire in a few years.
Like I stated previously, none of us really know anything about farming or off-grid living but we are doing the research and soaking up the knowledge like sponges. Are we doing everything perfectly? Hell no, but we are not afraid of making mistakes, those will only serve as harder lessons.
I know there is much more to catch up on, but wanted to get started at least with some of the basics. In the coming days and weeks, I’ll make additional entries to get anyone reading up to our current timeline. I’ll post progress pictures and a few videos along the way too.
We are all very excited about this journey and all the things it is going to teach us.
