Congratulations. 5 acres goes pretty fast once you start putting things in, so don’t rush. I’d start with planting some good fruit trees and willows.

@@westmeadowrabbits u could clone some of the trees from there, if there r special memories and there actually will be no difference, whether it is the old tree or it's part having grown into another unit but still the exactly same plant :) A little sentiment..

Subscribed after watching two of your videos. 😁 I always wanted to raise rabbits, but need a little bit help starting up, so I’ll follow you for a minute. Congrats on that 5 acres! That should be enough to start your serious rabbit production and some other stuff you want to raise as well. I’m in northern Illinois, also on 5 acres, but mainly growing veggies and now expanding with black currants, raspberries, blackberries, and some fruit trees. I need a lot of fertilizer, so growing rabbits would be the win win situation. Thanks for the inspiration ! Stay strong , and never give up on your dreams ! Mar

@@westmeadowrabbits Well, whatever you do, I wish you the best! We moved out of the suburbs a little over two years ago, got 2 1/2 acres, and dove right in. Raised two hogs in 2022, we have layers, and last year, I built two goat pens, and we have two dairy goats. This year, we’ll add meat goats. I have a little YT channel I started to share with friends and family. Feel free to check out my goat pen builds, if you’re looking for ideas.
