  • The Chicks Finally Get to Explore Outside Their Coop

    October 28, 2019 by

    This weekend we had a very busy and productive weekend. We spent a lot of time pulling up the chainlink fence that ran through the middle of the property. We got the back half cleared out but there’s still quite a bit that needs to be removed. It’s crazy how trees can just grow through… Read more

  • Chickens & Rabbits Update – They love colony living!

    October 25, 2019 by

    So last weekend Johnny and Natalie were in Indiana for a wrestling tournament. The other kids and I went out to the land and we’re able to add on a second poultry net to make a larger enclosure for the rabbits and chickens. We also added a dividing hot wire partly to keep them in… Read more

  • Chickens and Rabbits!

    October 14, 2019 by

    So we had a very exciting and very productive weekend at the Taylor farm. We’ve been looking for some replacement rabbits as the Californians we started with just weren’t very friendly. The kids really want to be able to pet them and interact with them and those rabbits were just downright MEAN. In fact, the… Read more

  • Baby Chicks!!!

    October 7, 2019 by

    So we FINALLY got to bring out baby chicks this weekend. The kids were soooooo excited. We got quite a bit done on Saturday, as you can see here. We got our roosting bars built and assembled some pretty cool gravity fed feeders that hold 25 pounds of feed. It was definitely a neat project… Read more

  • 2019-10-03 Update – It’s Almost Baby Chick Time!

    October 4, 2019 by

    So we’ve finally gotten the bug shack cleared out and will be setting it up for the chicks this weekend. We still need to get the building secured, setup feeders / waterers for the baby chicks, and build roosting bars. Lots of big plans so I’m hoping things go smoothly so we can move them… Read more

  • Well Pump Removal

    September 15, 2019 by

    So Johnny and I have been needing to get this old pump out of the well….however it was piped with galvanized steel….of an unknown depth. After calling multiple well companies who pretty much refused to touch that with a ten foot pole (and told us we just needed to drill a new well) – we… Read more

  • 2019-09-08 Update – Bug Shack Mania

    September 9, 2019 by

    So this weekend we worked hard on the bug shack. There was crap chest high in there. We’ve decided we’re going to turn the bug shack into our new chicken coop. While the bugs may not appreciate their new neighbors, we feel confident the chickens will be quite happy with their new accommodations! 😉 We’ve… Read more

  • Sooooooo it’s been a month… Sorry!

    September 3, 2019 by

    We finally went public with our blog and YouTube channel and then boom, a month passes without me posting. Sorry about that. Life just gets busy with school, work, etc. Today’s going to be a long catch-up post so I can bring up guys up to speed. We’ve continued working every weekend at the land… Read more

  • Week Two – Sooooooo Much Trash!

    August 5, 2019 by

    So we spent yesterday out at the land, excavating more metal. There were several special bits we managed to recover yesterday. One was a set of rebar stairs that were trapped in the Earth by the roots of three different trees. That was special. Another special bit was this super cool bike. Johnny’s been saying… Read more

  • The Taylor Rabbitry

    July 30, 2019 by

    Hi, I’m Sarah, the oldest Taylor kid, and when my parents went on another crazy spree to extend our family more… Well let’s just say I was NOT in support of it. I knew it would be a LOT of work, but the crazy lady showed me some videos of how commercial animals are treated,… Read more

  • One Week In

    July 30, 2019 by

    So we’re one week in from purchasing the property and we’ve put in an immense amount of man hours working to clear it. The little kids have been picking up trash…SO much trash! And the boys and I have been working on excavating metal from the ground. It’s painstakingly slow and backbreaking work but we’re… Read more

  • We Did It!

    July 23, 2019 by

    It’s official – we’re landowners! So exciting. We made our first trip out to the land to start cleaning up and teaching the kids all about poison oak! Johnny made a pretty awesome video to document the current state of the land – you can check it out here! Spoiler alert…sooooo many spiders. Also, the… Read more

  • Are We Crazy?

    July 19, 2019 by

    Well, maybe. Johnny and I have been married 15 years and we have always talked about having our own farm. We’ve always been very frugal and careful with our finances but the dream was still a dream. We hoped that when we retired, we would be able to purchase a retirement home on some land,… Read more
