Em Nau Farm BLOG

As we (the Child Bride and myself) prepare to set out on this new adventure I find myself both a little excited as well as a little scared about what is about to unfold.  We made this lifestyle choice for a number of reasons, not the least being the need to “get away” from a neighbour who has made our suburban existence a little less that positive since we started keeping chooks.  The neighbour was only too happy to get free range eggs at the start and instead of letting us know they had a complaint about the chooks went straight to Council to try to get the chooks banished.  We triumphed overall but the constant worry that at any time the whim struck them they could complain again (with no foundation in fact) has helped speed up our move.

One of the boys is not happy about the move as he will need to come with us unless he finds a job to support himself but i think he will like the move once he has settled in.

I hope that you follow our journey as we become “crofters” on our own piece of dirt.
