First-Year Homestead Order
A small working system beats five half-finished projects.
- Month 1: map sun, shade, water access, wet spots, and daily chore routes.
- Month 2: price the first system before buying animals or supplies.
- Month 3: start one system, such as chickens or a small garden.
- Month 4-6: fix muddy spots, water access, wasted feed, and weak routines.
- Month 7-12: expand only after the first system feels manageable.
