Plans

My wife and I are planners. We have been talking about what we want to accomplish right away, in the near future, and long term. Sometimes if you look at the whole picture it can get very overwhelming. A friend asked me "how do you eat an elephant?" Her answer was "one bite at a time"

Here are our plans thus far:

Short Term,
 Fire wood we have about 1 cord on hand and will need at least 4 cords to get us through the winter.
Insulate the small porch so we can keep dry and canned goods in it as well as our extra fridge and upright freezer.
Clean up the barn, organize the down stairs, and seal up a window in the loft that is open and clean up bat droppings in the loft so we can store some of our belongings in it. The previous owner must have worked at a tile store as there are hundreds of tile sample cards and scrape tiles that need to be gotten rid of. as well as some useless furniture.
.

1 to 2 years:
Garden plot, we need to test the soil and mark out a garden plot. plow it and then work in soil amendments.
Chicken coop and run, we want to have about 50 laying hens but want to possibly expand that to over 100 if the demand for eggs is enough to justify it.
Pasture for hogs, we want to have 1 or 2 heritage breed hogs on pasture to be butchered for meat. Although if there is a demand for pasture raised pork then we would want to expand that to 7 or 8 hogs.
Stocking the pond with fish and aerating
Rabbits are also something the interests us. We have done some research on raising rabbits for meat but need to do some more before we decide whether we will attempt to raise them.

3 to 5 years
U-pick, we have been talking about clearing 5 to 10 acres and planting fruit bearing bushes and trees to open up a upick operation. We have also discussed starting a 5 acre bird sanctuary to accompany the u-pick to make our farm a destination for locals to come with their families for an outing.
Hobbit holes, We have a pond that we want to stock with fish and on one end the bank is a large hill that would suit a walkway along the edge of the pond and having a couple of houses built to resemble the Homes of the Hobbits in from the movie Lord of The Rings. We could then rent them out to guests or use them as a guest house in the future.

Of course these plans will be changed and modified as we do more research and as money will allow. We have about two weeks to get the short term plans done before I head off to work for the winter.
