Very good post @papa-pepper! Everything your wrote was on point and makes clear and perfect sense. I would have to say, going by your personal definition that my farm; well pending farm is in fact a future homestead. I guess to me growing up in eastern Iowa everyone had farms or it was a ranch. The only things we really sold were milk to the milkman and a few cows at the sale barn.
For me to name our new home, I just kept it with what I have grown up knowing. Hence, Pfeiler Family Farm. Do I plan on having a lot of cattle? Ooooh no. Cass Co Missouri states I can have 1200 lbs of livestock per acre. I will leave it to maybe 2 or 3 just so we have some beef for our own freezer. I am in it for peace, soul rebuilding, self reliance and a place to raise my family.
Thank you for another well written post.
Kenny
