I live on 14.5 acres in Amish country in Ohio. I have raised chickens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits & sheep. I’ve planted cherries, hazelnuts, peaches, mulberries, paw paws, apples, pears & nectarines. I garden (badly) but I am learning more every year. I work remotely for a bank as a mortgage underwriter- fingers crossed I am still doing that when you read this. I hunt on my land - have gotten 5 deer since I moved out here. Into everything homesteading.

It is, I love where we live, it’s got the best perks!

Morning Nostriches!

Got some beef stock cooking to lay in our stores for the year. Our neighbor raises cows but doesn’t keep the bones so we have a whole cows worth to play with for free.

Wanted to hit the dairy today, but we may be effectively snowed in.

Gonna be a great year if I make it one!

lol. I would if it wasn’t a fantastic job. I work from home, 4 weeks vaca, 2 weeks sick, pension, benefits, 401k. I really like the work too. Only thing that sucks is the advancement opportunities

Got plans forming in my head already for what’s going on this year. 1st up is the greenhouse!

Yep. Definitely going to focus on the homestead more this year. That’s my life, the job is the side hustle. I keep forgetting that

That they are. Love winter. If you live too far south you miss this view

Yep - as of March of 2026 I’ll be in the exact same job but I’ll be designated as a IV instead of a III.
