Hi,

I don't have any questions but just wanted to introduce myself and tell you a little about my farm journey so far...I decided to make my first home, a home in the country. It took nearly 18mths to find my perfect home, but at last, I found my little piece of heaven in the Southern Downs region of QLD.

My aim is to be self suffiecent, "live off the grid" as much as possible and to one day earn a small income to live comfortably (ie. pay those bills we can't get out of).

I am fortunate enough to have my parents living with me as I travel for work. We have 20 free range hens & a few roosters. We are working on fixing fences to have some cattle within the next couple of months. We've had great success with several vegie patches and have recently planted a few fruit trees.

I didn't realise how big of a problem the weeds on my property were until my first summer. That pretty yellow flower I soon discovered was St Johns Wort and those yummy Blackberries were actually a noxious weed! Thankfully the Southern Downs Council have been very helpful with information and guidence and we are working towards eradicating these weeds.

Life on a farm, even a small one, is never boring!

Thank you for a really great website Farmstyle and I look foward to reading everyones stories and questions.

Happy farming,

Toni
