MAP
Well, we don't quite have a map as of yet, but we are working on it. In the meantime, we thought you might enjoy looking at some of the work we have started. As we mentioned, we have just moved to our homestead and have had to start nearly everything from scratch. Our piece of land was part of a larger cow farm. As such, our property is a mixture of former cow pasture (abandonded 20+ years ago), and wooded areas. We have a spectacular view of a pond and are lucky to have hardly any wetlands. We are in the process of battling Autumn Olive, Rosa Florabunda, and Bittersweet gone rampant. The chainsaw, york rake, and brushhog have been our first line of defense against these pestilent weeds.

This is what it was like when we were getting started
Once we had the briars and bittersweet out of the way, we tackled the autumn olive and saplings...
Here's a view of the nearly finished product
And this is what it looks like from the other side of the pond...
