We run 1,532 acres in Harrison County, East Texas. Zone 8a/8b. Acidic sandy loam that drains well and grows blueberries like nobody's business if you leave it alone. High rain, high humidity, mild winters, the occasional hard freeze, and more foxes than we'd like.
This site is where we keep the notes. Not the polished version. The real one. How we set up off-grid water with a solar well pump and two ponds. What fruit trees survive our soil. How we keep goats and pygmy goats alive around predators. Where the aquaculture loop actually pays off and where it just eats feed.
If you are prepping, going off-grid, or just tired of the grocery store being the only place you can eat, you are in the right spot. We write it the way we learned it: by doing it wrong first.
