Transitioning away from cattle raising on the farm has been a whopper of a headache...

I've been exploring options for what we might attempt. Without spending tens of thousands of dollars in equipmemt that we arguably can't afford...

One crop I'm very interested in establishing in the next year is lavender.

We have so many wildlife pests in our area almost anything larger scale production wise is virtually dead prior to launch when it comes to vegetables / fruits... we have deer regularly invading our yard, mere feet of my home. I can't walk downstairs during the night without seeing them come out of a field and graze three feet outside of a window. They're far too numerous and even if we start going after them I'm fairly certain they'll outpace our efforts easily and the issues will persist.
