I totally agree about the financial aspect. I'm extremely fortunate to have this land passed down, otherwise there'd be no way I could ever entertain such a venture!
I love goats too and there'll certainly be some of the farm. Lovely idea about the hedge - there are loads of what you've mentioned on the farm so I want to use as much as possible for produce and food.
And lastly, it's always good to take some moments to indulge in dreams - that's the way you work out how you're going to get there! :D
