[quote=Anonymous]I am in the process of setting up a hobby farm but it’s a multi-year project.  I bought 30 acres zoned agricultural in Warren County, VA last year.  The land was farmed many, many years ago but has been untouched for probably 50 years.  I have had to start from scratch.  Putting in driveways, getting a shed, buying equipment.  I now own an ATV, a bush hog, a disk harrow (never knew what that was before) and all sorts of other equipment I never thought I’d need.  I also had to buy a huge shed to put it in.  But I needed to clear the land for the shed so I learned how to use a chainsaw.  I own an auger because I had to put in gates.  Over a year in and it’s still going at a snails pace.  I do almost everything myself though because I don’t have the money to contract out.  I enjoy it but it’s not romantic and it’s way more work than I ever anticipated.  I don’t live there, there’s no house on the property but one day I want to generate a little income for a tax write off.  [/quote]
