Thank you for this video! My fiancée & I have dreams of buying land for our horses and a big garden. I've been specifically looking for the "hard parts" of owning a farm and this has a lot of good info to keep in mind.

Very informative and makes you think twice, & three times before buying anything.

WOW, never thought of these things. So appreciative!

my grandparents have farmland near lake erie and with the housing crisis and my recent interest in gardening, i've been wanting to ask them about buying their property off of them (when the time is right, i'm still in school and not ready to own property yet). i'm sure they have a lot of this covered if i ever need it, but this video was so informative on what questions i need to ask and where to find the info.

Thank you so much for that well rounded information, prior setting off on finding that Ideal piece of Rural Property.

Thanks so much for your generosity of time putting this very informative video together for a city slicker like myself. Good day ma'am 👍

I appreciate your information that helps all of us navigate this!

Excellent way of explaining. Thanks.

Thanks for all your help.

Great things to think about. Thank you

Super Informative! Thanks for Sharing!

Great video

It's disrespectful to tell people that they have no right to rain water. That law is disrespectful.

Thanks a lot!

Your video was very informative. My husband and I want to retire to the country and have lived in the city all our lives. We know city rules and policies but your video was an eye opener.

What a sweetheart (literally)

Thank you thank you thank you!! Please no music…. You’re amazing

Thank you so much. You were very helpful in scaring the badoozul out of me. However I think you armed me with a world of knowledge. By the way I think you gave a little more than six things to know. 1. Purpose 2. Zoning 3. Bank 4. Location 5. Water 6. Utilities 7. Research land- what was there before 8. Restrictions,deeded restrict 9. Environmental regulation. Thank you so much. I will let you know when I start my project. I want to do some homesteading and a little selling of my crops.

Welcome. Farm life while it won’t make you rich in $ sure makes you rich in love and life. No one else in my family has a farm, Like you I started my adventure on my own learning and failing along the way. More highs than lows and wouldn’t trade this life. Good luck on your new adventures!

Might want to talk to a real estate agent on that one. Sorry I’m no help.

We are looking at a place that's classified as a farm already and has been. It's also in an area with tons of farms around it. Can I get advice on what type of grant or loan might help us purchase this farm? It's 29 acres and only $335k . It does have a house (bigger than my current one), stables, and barn. I have 5 boys who would absolutely love to live on a farm.

That's because independent people are difficult to manipulate, so they make it difficult for people to maintain independence.

If a piece of land is zoned farming can you build a homestead on it???

You'd have to check with your local planning office but 99% yes.

Can you suggest a website that can get information who went to sale their farms?

You'll find most on zillow realtor.com or worth with a realtor and ask for someone who has experience with arms. Another place to look is the Farm Beauro. Become a member of your state chapter and they have a paper they send out monthly with an extensive classifieds section.

Your in NYS. I'm in NYC & want to own a Homestead. I'm basically a remote therapist. Where would you say is the best areas to look outside NYC.

Depends on what you are looking to do on your Homestead. If you plan on having livestock then you need good veterinary services. Buffalo/Rochester/Syracuse areas have access to great vet services. Ithaca Area has Cornell University. Being in WNY we tend to avoid everything Albany to NYC so I cant speak for anything service wise that direction.

I want to build educational tourism especially specifically for school children from kindergarten to adulthood and family. One of the farm animals we want to breed is myotonic/fainting goats. How can I get such goats. Thx

Check out the registry and go to the breeders page to find herds near you. www.myotonicgoatregistry.net/

Do you think an hour from your primary home would be too far for a farm? Me and my wife both work full-time jobs but we are having a hard time finding available unrestricted land in our area that would coincide with our plans.

Depends on your comfort level of birthing. If you raise horses, find a mare motel to birth out. Worth the $. If doing sheep or goats they birth pretty reliably and you can usually narrow down kidding season to a week and use vacation time to stay home that week. Beef cattle are fairly self sufficient. Alpacas are terrible to birth out, not recommended for 1st time livestock.

@@Imononeization oh gosh no. Taking care of a living thing requires a time commitment and sacrifice to be there 365 days a year. No vacations unless you have a hired hand kind of commitment. It’s amazing how fast an animal can get themselves into a pickle and need rescuing. Chickens wedge themselves in weird places or make an oops when roosting and need to be caught, sheep can bloat and get stuck on their backs, goats think fences are a joke and you’re constantly having to wrangle them back up. Add predators into the mix and it’s a never ending job that you either embrace fully or don’t at the cost of another living things life.

What kind of poison have they sprayed on fields

I'm sick of living in the city. I've been deprived the ability to expand my skills in any direction that takes time or money investment. My options are limited. All I know is, I want to be left alone, I want to be surrounded by greenery and trees so I can listen to the leaves in the breeze. I don't have the money/land for a cattle farm, I like sheep (a lot hehe) but lack the resources, experience, and especially the money/land to do that. So. Chickens it is :) I like sheep better but chickens are certainly much more doable than other livestock, based merely on price and space needs. I don't need to make a lot of money, I've lived my whole life being poor. I don't intend to employ anyone. I'll just sell my eggs, maintain a stable population of hens whole harvesting meat as I can. Eventually throw solar panels on the roof and a rainwater tank to drop my bills even further. Fruit trees and a garden patch are definitely on the list as well. But first, I have to learn more while saving up to buy some land somewhere not too far from the city (seems convenient for distribution and my girlfriend haha). It's disgusting how expensive even mediocre land is these days.

"Why are you buying the property?" Because I love nature?

Virginia is a state where you have the right to be off grid

Too much drama !!!!!! First.....save your money....... I mean......save your money ! ( Thats my style of drama ) If you have to go to a banker to ask about financing.....your already in trouble. You dont need someone to tell you if and or how to farm ! You go to the bank and " tell " the banker you need this much money. If they are not onboard...... go somewhere else ! By asking...... your telling the banker you have no idea what your doing. Dont go down that road ! Ive been a farmer for 45 years.....milked cows.... anytime I needed a loan....I told the banker.......I need this much money....Ive never had an issue to this day. The bank dont even ask questions other then satisfying the banks needs relating to your net worth etc. I farmed only 160 acres.........no outside income. Total equipment value to this date....... around 45,000 dollars. Thats including my 2002 S10 pickup. People need to learn to take charge...grow up.... handle money / save money. Money can be power if used correctly !

only 6? that’s easy 😂
