Threshold 5-year plan
Because anything good I've done has been built on the back of a veiled "fuck you" to what it seems like the world is forcing me to do:
Year -1: What I've done: Page wire fence around the home couple acres. 5 fields plus main yard fencing mostly completed: orchard field, winter field, wood field, back field, main field plus fencing tacked onto the next field. 3 fairly permanent pig houses built in winter field. Raised beds removed and replaced with lasagna-bedded rich soil ~2000 sqft then ~3000 sqft (that last thousand is super competing with aspens though). Added one pop-up 20x12 greenhouse, one lean-to animal space/greenhouse 10x20. Taken down a couple aspens.
Refinance mortgage. Fence driveway "airlock" and two new fields in the back. Remove lean-to greenhouse. Get a quote for fixing the workshop foundation, if it can be done. Take down extra aspens and cut to season. Potentially run pigs in the small corral by the neighbours' house to prepare for orchard if they can be convinced. Re-side fabric pop-up greenhouse? Convert 2021 grain trial area to berries & grapes. Look into walk-in coolers. Wire in generator panel. Plant oaks in the back. Try making a small log cabin in field orchard. Plant woodfield in tomato, squash, and corn trial. Design main garden maze. Figure out the mud part of driveway. Exclude geese from main lawn/figure out guardian dog solution. Build postal box for driveway. Build pig houses in additional fields, ideally that can be used as greenhouses off-season (2-6). Replace deck and south roof. Egg stand out front?
Acquire tractor. Fix workshop. Quote for pole barn. Plant field orchard. Convert wood field to veggie trials. Front landscaping/trimming. Deal with workshop: either disassemble or fix foundation. If disassemble, quote for pole barn. Build on two more fields, extending back at least to the pond. Figure out guest house. Cut gate in north front fence. Financing for high tunnel greenhouse?
Refloor chicken coop. Build walk-in cooler, guesthouse, and root cellar maybe as a unit, if workshop isn't fixable. High tunnel greenhouse along north edge of property. Standpipe in by greenhouse and animal wintering pen. Culvert and fill back and side swales with earthmover.
