I figure I will start my new thread now. When we actually name the place I will see about changing the thread name if that is ok. 
SO we toured the new farm and it will be just right for us. It's only 5 acres, but it's 5 GOOD acres. SOme citrus trees, a fig tree, Two little fields are fenced-one for animals, (with 2 separate animal sections-sheep section and hog section) and a little space that has been farmed in the past and it is just the right size for us to grow plenty to put up for the year and eat during the season. There are 3 wells-one for drinking, one for irrigation and one with a hand pump. (woohoo!) Lots of beautiful oaks, set back in a wooded area away from a main road, people mind their own business but are friendly. We move in around Jan 27th so you can imagine how busy I am packing right now!
The house is from the 20's and it's adorable, with plenty of room for us. The kitchen is PHENOMENAL and really, my dream kitchen. There is a small dining room that we have to finish up (nail up some beadboard and paint) and the living room has a beautiful stone fireplace.
Animals come with, so we have 4 sheep (2 big boys, a mama and baby) 2 hogs, handful of chickens in a cute little pen.
I am seriously considering a couple nubian milk goats-but I need to fortify the hog wire sheep pen a little better. I could just get an older milk cow. I'm pondering that. Any suggestions on how to fix the hog wire so crafty goats can't escape? I'd like to avoid electric.
Also taking suggestions on farm names. I really like 'Feast or Famine Farms' cause that is our life, but don't wanna jinx us!
That's my update!
