Leafing Out
Hello from South Central Pennsylvania. Thank you for the add. I always wanted a farm and now that I have retired due to physical reasons, I am finally looking for my forever farm. My goal is to be Clean and Green, to be self sufficient as much as possible, to rebuild the woodlands, remove the invasives as much as possible, and to raise a few critters, grow my own food, and to have a horse rescue especially for the drafts and other working horses and mules. There appears to be a growing need for working horses on farms and hopefully, I will be able to help the horses become useful again after their needed time for healing. If not, they can stay and just be a horse. I want to build paddock paradise tracts where they can meander around in and out of the woods, self medicate as needed, and heal in their own timing. They will be provided of course with proper Vet, dental, and farrier care as needed. I will be planting lots of pollinator gardens, bird gardens, hummingbird gardens, good beetle and bug gardens, wildlife habitat and feed gardens, herb gardens, and stormwater gardens along the way... but will be cautious about not having any plants toxic to the horses, goats, sheep, milking cows, poultry, and other fowl... like a few Guineas that love ticks and make excellent watchdogs... oops, I mean watchbirds.
