Is there such a thing? It has the pin not a ball hitch. I want to be able to use the mower’s utility trailer for things bigger than my carts can haul but smaller then my big trailer around the farm.
Why wouldn’t I just pull it with the mower? Because sometimes I need to get into places smaller than my mower can get into. It’s a 52” mower. Some of my gates are 48”.

So my neighbor gave me the idea of turning this into a smokehouse. It was used for a little bit to store gardening stuff but now it's just a walnut stash house for squirrels. Was never used as an outhouse. Any tips, comments, ideas etc? I figured id just run a galvanized pipe into the bottom and put some racks inside

Just pulled a jar of salsa from the pantry that turned out to be open already. Smells fine, nothing growing on it. Think it’s trustworthy?

The chickens picked the baby strawberry plants clean of the leaves. They are only a few months old, both the chickens and strawberries.
Will the strawberry plants be ok?

This is pretty cool. This guy talks about how he transformed a property from suffering from drought and floods into an ecologically beneficial landscape. Zach studied with Sepp Holzer and gave this presentation at a Permaculture Design Course which you can find online.

I want to put an offer on a 5 acre property. Its fairly dry in the center but some parts are wet and a bit swampy. The seller says it’s probably clay underneath. I would like to eventually have some animals and have a large garden.
I know its hard to tell from the video but do you think its usable land? Can i put a ditch on the side to help with drainage? Should i avoid it and wait for something that is dryer?
What should some idea to put for conditions?

Due to health issues (read my reddit history) we need to sell our mini farm and relocate. We have an amazing fully trained Anatolian Shepherd who is available to the RIGHT HOME. I have had him since he was a little pup and love him very much. I want the right home with the right family. Please pm me for details. Thank you.

My husband and I are wanting a large stand-up freezer to store meat that we harvest from our homestead. I'm wanting to find something that's dual fuel for both solar and propane. We have a large solar setup and all the sun in the world but I feel like it's always better to have a back up incase our system goes down, gets damaged or we have a long period of no sun but I'm having no luck finding anything that isn't a tiny little chest freezer. So I'm wondering if we need to just go straight propane or solar or if there is anything out there that I'm not finding, any advice is appreciated!
