Thank you for this video! My fiancée & I have dreams of buying land for our horses and a big garden. I've been specifically looking for the "hard parts" of owning a farm and this has a lot of good info to keep in mind.
my grandparents have farmland near lake erie and with the housing crisis and my recent interest in gardening, i've been wanting to ask them about buying their property off of them (when the time is right, i'm still in school and not ready to own property yet). i'm sure they have a lot of this covered if i ever need it, but this video was so informative on what questions i need to ask and where to find the info.
Thank you Great video very informative i finally convinced the wife to get a small farm bout 15 mins from our house now a great deal came up (central Oregon) it’s 13 acres and we couldn’t pass it up we have no knowledge of farming but cant wait to get our animals and house fixed up will continue watching for more help as we go thanks again
Congratulations on your purchase! Welcome to the country life. Can be a tad crazy at times but super rewarding. Should a do a video on back n placement and pasture layout next?
Thank you so much. You were very helpful in scaring the badoozul out of me. However I think you armed me with a world of knowledge. By the way I think you gave a little more than six things to know. 1. Purpose 2. Zoning 3. Bank 4. Location 5. Water 6. Utilities 7. Research land- what was there before 8. Restrictions,deeded restrict 9. Environmental regulation. Thank you so much. I will let you know when I start my project. I want to do some homesteading and a little selling of my crops.
This video is amazing. I'm interested in homesteading. Our family doesn't eat red meat. Looking to grow vegetables, grains and raise various poultry. Thank you for this valuable information. Liked and subscribed.
Your video was very informative. My husband and I want to retire to the country and have lived in the city all our lives. We know city rules and policies but your video was an eye opener.
Loved it! Very Informative a lot of things I did not think about I’m just starting my journey I have a five year plan and I would like to Become a farmer I want to purchase some land and learn how to generate money from an end contribute something good and wholesome to our Society And at the same time I am building a legacy to leave for my children and my grandchildren, It never really occurred to me I didn’t think it was possible but I’m learning it is completely possible and I am really really excited I am not a stranger to her work and I am not afraid of it I will work until my fingers bleed in order to do this for my children I need to leave them safe when I leave this life that’s my dream that’s my goal. So I am going to be a regular subscriber regular watcher of your content thank you very much you are an inspiration and I want to be like you! ❤ 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Welcome. Farm life while it won’t make you rich in $ sure makes you rich in love and life. No one else in my family has a farm, Like you I started my adventure on my own learning and failing along the way. More highs than lows and wouldn’t trade this life. Good luck on your new adventures!
I wish you all the best..True inspiration. I am thinking in same lines. If you do not mind send message to me and update your progress. I also started searching farmland in last 30 days
Great job putting out this info. I'm live in the city but want to start a new life away from it all. I always wanted to live on a farm like I did when a was a child.
You'll find most on zillow realtor.com or worth with a realtor and ask for someone who has experience with arms. Another place to look is the Farm Beauro. Become a member of your state chapter and they have a paper they send out monthly with an extensive classifieds section.
I'm sick of living in the city. I've been deprived the ability to expand my skills in any direction that takes time or money investment. My options are limited. All I know is, I want to be left alone, I want to be surrounded by greenery and trees so I can listen to the leaves in the breeze. I don't have the money/land for a cattle farm, I like sheep (a lot hehe) but lack the resources, experience, and especially the money/land to do that. So. Chickens it is :) I like sheep better but chickens are certainly much more doable than other livestock, based merely on price and space needs. I don't need to make a lot of money, I've lived my whole life being poor. I don't intend to employ anyone. I'll just sell my eggs, maintain a stable population of hens whole harvesting meat as I can. Eventually throw solar panels on the roof and a rainwater tank to drop my bills even further. Fruit trees and a garden patch are definitely on the list as well. But first, I have to learn more while saving up to buy some land somewhere not too far from the city (seems convenient for distribution and my girlfriend haha). It's disgusting how expensive even mediocre land is these days.
I want to build educational tourism especially specifically for school children from kindergarten to adulthood and family. One of the farm animals we want to breed is myotonic/fainting goats. How can I get such goats. Thx
We are looking at a place that's classified as a farm already and has been. It's also in an area with tons of farms around it. Can I get advice on what type of grant or loan might help us purchase this farm? It's 29 acres and only $335k . It does have a house (bigger than my current one), stables, and barn. I have 5 boys who would absolutely love to live on a farm.
Depends on what you are looking to do on your Homestead. If you plan on having livestock then you need good veterinary services. Buffalo/Rochester/Syracuse areas have access to great vet services. Ithaca Area has Cornell University. Being in WNY we tend to avoid everything Albany to NYC so I cant speak for anything service wise that direction.
Do you think an hour from your primary home would be too far for a farm? Me and my wife both work full-time jobs but we are having a hard time finding available unrestricted land in our area that would coincide with our plans.
Depends on your comfort level of birthing. If you raise horses, find a mare motel to birth out. Worth the $. If doing sheep or goats they birth pretty reliably and you can usually narrow down kidding season to a week and use vacation time to stay home that week. Beef cattle are fairly self sufficient. Alpacas are terrible to birth out, not recommended for 1st time livestock.
@@DutchHollow I'm wanting to use the property for self-sustainability, not necessarily to get into anything commercial. I just wanted to see if there was a way to raise chickens, sheep, etc without having to visit the property on a daily basis.
@@Imononeization oh gosh no. Taking care of a living thing requires a time commitment and sacrifice to be there 365 days a year. No vacations unless you have a hired hand kind of commitment. It’s amazing how fast an animal can get themselves into a pickle and need rescuing. Chickens wedge themselves in weird places or make an oops when roosting and need to be caught, sheep can bloat and get stuck on their backs, goats think fences are a joke and you’re constantly having to wrangle them back up. Add predators into the mix and it’s a never ending job that you either embrace fully or don’t at the cost of another living things life.
Too much drama !!!!!! First.....save your money....... I mean......save your money ! ( Thats my style of drama ) If you have to go to a banker to ask about financing.....your already in trouble. You dont need someone to tell you if and or how to farm ! You go to the bank and " tell " the banker you need this much money. If they are not onboard...... go somewhere else ! By asking...... your telling the banker you have no idea what your doing. Dont go down that road ! Ive been a farmer for 45 years.....milked cows.... anytime I needed a loan....I told the banker.......I need this much money....Ive never had an issue to this day. The bank dont even ask questions other then satisfying the banks needs relating to your net worth etc. I farmed only 160 acres.........no outside income. Total equipment value to this date....... around 45,000 dollars. Thats including my 2002 S10 pickup. People need to learn to take charge...grow up.... handle money / save money. Money can be power if used correctly !
It's disrespectful to tell people that they have no right to rain water. That law is disrespectful.
Thank you for this video! My fiancée & I have dreams of buying land for our horses and a big garden. I've been specifically looking for the "hard parts" of owning a farm and this has a lot of good info to keep in mind.
WOW, never thought of these things. So appreciative!
Very informative and makes you think twice, & three times before buying anything.
my grandparents have farmland near lake erie and with the housing crisis and my recent interest in gardening, i've been wanting to ask them about buying their property off of them (when the time is right, i'm still in school and not ready to own property yet). i'm sure they have a lot of this covered if i ever need it, but this video was so informative on what questions i need to ask and where to find the info.
I appreciate your information that helps all of us navigate this!
Thinking about homesteading, thanks for informative video 👍

Thanks so much for your generosity of time putting this very informative video together for a city slicker like myself. Good day ma'am 👍
Thank you so much for that well rounded information, prior setting off on finding that Ideal piece of Rural Property.
Excellent way of explaining.
Thanks.
I’m glad to have found your video. I’ve been thinking of buying a farm and I don’t know where to start! Thank you! Subscribing
It's fun and so rewarding. Best of luck in your new adventure.

Your video was very informative. My husband and I want to retire to the country and have lived in the city all our lives. We know city rules and policies but your video was an eye opener.
Good luck with your adventures. It's a different and often difficult to make the switch but can be very rewarding.
Thank you so so much. U gave me a lot to think about. We are going to look at farms soon. Yikes! Kathleen
Goodluck in your new adventures!
@@DutchHollow thank you. I am looking at ads with a new eye. I have a whole list of new questions.
Great things to think about. Thank you
This was very helpful thank you
I'm a Urban Gardener from Brooklyn. I'm want a homestead and also do aquaponics. Where in NY state has affordable land and is close to the city
Might want to talk to a real estate agent on that one. Sorry I’m no help.

Phenomenal info 🌟🙏🏻🌟
Thanks a lot for this video
Great 👍 👌
Thank you really helpful ❤️
You are the best thank you!
good information
Thanks a lot!
I hate how hard this country makes it for people to actually be self sustainable
That's because independent people are difficult to manipulate, so they make it difficult for people to maintain independence.
If a piece of land is zoned farming can you build a homestead on it???
You'd have to check with your local planning office but 99% yes.
Can you suggest a website that can get information who went to sale their farms?
You'll find most on zillow realtor.com or worth with a realtor and ask for someone who has experience with arms. Another place to look is the Farm Beauro. Become a member of your state chapter and they have a paper they send out monthly with an extensive classifieds section.

Check out the registry and go to the breeders page to find herds near you. www.myotonicgoatregistry.net/

Talk with your state's farm bureau, or the usda, or the states Ag extension office
Your in NYS. I'm in NYC & want to own a Homestead. I'm basically a remote therapist. Where would you say is the best areas to look outside NYC.
Depends on what you are looking to do on your Homestead. If you plan on having livestock then you need good veterinary services. Buffalo/Rochester/Syracuse areas have access to great vet services. Ithaca Area has Cornell University. Being in WNY we tend to avoid everything Albany to NYC so I cant speak for anything service wise that direction.
What kind of poison have they sprayed on fields

If you plan on just a hobby farm and no birthing worries then distance isn’t an issue

"Why are you buying the property?"
Because I love nature?
