The Journey Begins - Our Lifelong Dream To Own A Hobby Farm!
Ok, so some of you may have seen my name floating around various areas of Hive over the years, many wont have but my name is Nytehawker. I have been involved in Hive and the Crypto and blogging community here for nearly 4 years and I have more hobbies than I can count! But one of my biggest passions is hobby farming!
My wife and I have finally had enough of the cost of living crisis in the city of Melbourne and have purchased a block of land in the heart of a region called Sunraysia! Located in the top North West Corner of Victoria. It was time for us to achieve our lifelong dream to own a hobby farm!
This is my first post here (I think) and I invite you all to come on a journey with me over the days, weeks, months and years ahead as we take a project and our dream of homesteading and hobby farm life and turn it into a reality! Please feel free to subscribe to my blog to keep track or keep up with all our posts here as we all go on an adventure together!
The Property
Approximately 2300 square metres in size, the property boasts a large shed with self contained 3 bedroom property - That needs alot of work, but is liveable.
We have purchased a water title that will allow us up to 1.5 meg or 1.5 million litres of water which is allocated from the river each year free! This water runs via a channel to our property where we have pumps that take the water from the well to the tank and then via another pump to service the property.
The Gardening And Farmstead/Hobby Life
We are excited to begin the process of re-building the chicken coop and adding plants, fruit trees and vegetable gardens to the property.
A old water guage bordering the wilderness. It still works!
The Olive Tree - Extending A Branch Of Hope
Finally we were greeted with the most amazing gift in the backyard. A lone Olive Tree bearing fruit. It represents for us the promise of hope in a long journey filled with struggle and hardship. In this property we have been 'extended an olive branch' - The chance to move forward into a new season in our lives, away from the struggles of our previous lives and a journey into a new one filled with wonder and joy.
Final Thoughts
Thanks for your time! Stay tuned for my next post as we begin the renovations to turn this place into our dream paradise! I will be so pleased for you all to come along for the ride!
