Hey folks,

M'name is Sam and I live at the northern end of Caerphilly county on my parents' 18 acre smallholding. We've been here nearly 3 years and have planted about 8 acres of woodland, we're in the process of converting a 1 acre field to veg beds and orchard, and have 5 chooks. The main aim is to increase self-sufficiency in food and firewood.

We spend as much of our free time as possible on the land (everyone is working or studying full time) and an extensive list of things to do is a permanent fixture on the fridge... We enjoy every minute.

Eventually I'll be moving out once I've saved enough money up; my intention is to find some flatter land on which to establish a market garden or similar (got plenty of time to make up my mind as money is somewhat scarce!).

Anyway, nice to meet you all

sean

Hi Sam, I understand that flat garden thing too, I used to live in Mountain Ash and worked in Caerphilly for over 10 years so I know the area well. Welcome to Downsizer.
