Transition is not always easy. I heard people saying they want to have a more rural life but most likely they are not going to make it. City life is tiring so it’s normal to wish for a break but switching to a country life is an entirely different topic.

What kind of storage building you have? This is the question I have in mind when reading the post. The easiest is always getting someone to do it for you.

I would love to but I’m not creative enough. Seems like it requires some knowledge about marketing even in designs. I’m also not good at colours. I guess I will hire someone to do it.

Chickens are also the way to go in my honest opinion even though I haven’t raised any livestock yet. But they are easier to take care of when compared to other animals. It’s good for motivation, for starters.

I usually have the furniture settled at the end. It also depends on how often you spend time in your cottage. I saw a lot nicely designed ones and basically you don’t want to leave once you are there.

I know some communities in my neighbourhood but I am not usually active in those communities. But it’s fun, indeed, to exchange news and ideas and such.

Thanks for sharing. I never thought of listening to podcasts during work. Usually I listen to my playlist of music. But looks like podcast is another way to go as well.

I am sorry to hear that! I think it’s important that we support each other and I am glad this forum exits. True that being grateful is important, it creates peace for our inner self as well. Currently I am renovating the summer house. Hopefully will get most of the work done this year.

My acquaintance has been talking how she has underestimate the costs and it was a tough time for her to go through with her farm. Also, I heard of problems with legal issues. But that’s really depending on where you live.

The choice of cleaner is quite important. If it’s too strong, it can harm the surface of the furniture. Mild ones should be good to go. Clean it gently and patience is usually very important if you don’t want to ruin anything.

Here we don’t seem to have shortage of meat. But I can understand the struggle. Every time when I go to the supermarket and see so many stuff haven’t been back in stock, I feel a bit sad.

I have never thought much about thieves. If people have time to plan to steal something, then I guess it’s more efficient for them to learn some skills. Skills are for long term.

This is an interesting question. I won’t think of if I am being successful or not usually. I just do what I want to do, like to do. If I achieve something, some of my goals, I feel satisfaction. But success is rather a big word in this sense. I just keep going, and push myself further to achieve...

I have 2 meals each day. 2 big ones I would say, one for breakfast and one for the afternoon. I call the latter one dinner as I don’t eat much after the second meal. I usually have it at around 4pm but still depends.

Interesting, I wonder how difficult it is to make masks. As I want to make some for my grandparents as well. I find disposable masks of one-time-use very wasteful actually. I want to make some masks that I can wash and reuse.

Here in Estonia we got rain almost every day. And it has been very windy as well. The weather is quite fluctuating. There were some snow but not much. I don’t like this weather honestly.

Just interested in finding out, for those of you who are running your farm as a business, what made you make such decision? Did you all start from a hobby farm or what?

We are basically divided. It would be interesting to plan and harvest together honestly! Though I don’t think everyone will like such an idea. I am not very familiar with the history of such division, or arrangement I would say, but it’s indeed pretty interesting at least for me.

I grow up hearing a lot of different weird fictions, some of them are superstitious fictions. But so far none of them seem to be related to farming.

I don’t have any but some acquaintances I know, they have kept a lot of stuff. I suppose these tractors must mean a lot to them, or their family probably!
