We just purchased a 7 acre property and I am a little worried it might be a lot for us to handle. The previous owners have the entire property as a lawn. I don't want to mow 7 acres of lawn that is for sure. Very good piece of advice to only take on what you can handle. So, for us we are going to be turning some of the property into garden and pasture for free range chickens. Maybe in the future we may try to take on a beef cow or two.
