Cut field

Our field was cut this weekend by our tractor-owning neighbor. He cut it Thursday, and I was gone this weekend until Sunday and when I got back it was baled and gone.


This 2 acres of field is a huge reason we bought this house. It's hard to say what this will look like in a few years. I've thought about sheep (soay), milking goats, a few cows, a vineyard, free ranging chickens and ducks, more fruit trees, row crops (quinoa or corn), etc etc. It will take a few years to sort out which direction I want to go, and the end result will undoubtedly be a mixture of many of these. For now I'm going to let it lie and watch how it does this winter with rain and drainage - it stayed pretty wet through this spring. So many options!
