"Welcome Maria!  I look forward to hearing about your new additions and your existing animals adjustment to the move.  Good luck!"

"Very nice! I love the patio stones. Easy to replace if needed and they'll last a long time. And, it kinda gives them a tidy, pulled together look. If that makes sense. Lol! Great idea! ~ Lisa"

"Thanks, being able to replace one was my thought as well, but I wanted to see how you had done it."

"Oh my those are funny looking babies. I think I need a few of those now... Thanks!"

"We wrapped landscape tarp around the top to inside of the stone to hold them in while filling up the gardens. Other than that it's just the pressure of the soil. That way if a stone cracks we can just slide it out and put in…"

"That is so exciting! What breed of pigs did you decide on and what made you choose them?"

"Thanks Heather! Good Luck! We moved to our property 3 years (4 summers) ago it just took us that long to get the house in order for the humans.  Now it's time to make a wild forested lot a mixed pasture / forest lot. Fingers crossed!"

"Beautiful pics Samantha! I can nearly taste that mint in my cocktail :-)"

"Hi everyone! My husband and I are new Farm Dreamers. Currently prepping our land in southern Ontario for a few pigs and some ducks. Just looking to say Hi! for now, I'm sure we will have many questions in the coming months."
