Inagural post - progress toward agarianism

Well, we are on our way. Years ago my husband and I made a decsion that we were going to live a more agarian lifestyle. Today we took that first step.

 

Today, my husband and I purchased a small piece of 5 and a ½ acre farmland in and undisclosed location in Tennessee (see pics.). It is about a ¼ of a mile off the banks of the TN river. It has absolutely no restrictions whatsoever and the taxes are only 6 dollars an acre. The price was only $15,000. This was surprising to me since over here in Nashville (Davidson Co. and Sumner Co.) where we live now it is about $15,000 an acre. We were able to purchase this property by liquidating nearly everything including furniture (LoL!!). We hope to have it paid off in the next year; Lord willing.

 

We will keep you posted of our progress - Holly

Very green! That is always a plus, especially here in Colorado.
Very nice, Blessings, Theresa
P.S. Never thought of selling all furniture to get land...humm...:)

hello,
I went to your site and read some of it. It sounds interesting and along the path God has shown me, although I am very leary of people's sites. It would be great to get to know you.
God Bless,
Jason
