Clearing the land

Every farm has a beginning, and for Little Wild Farm, it started with 0.4 acres of land waiting to be transformed.

At first, my husband and I thought we could tackle the job ourselves. We stepped out onto the land, tools in hand, ready to start clearing. It didn’t take long for us to realize just how big of a a task we had taken on. Clearing 0.4 acres is no small job, and the land quickly reminded us of that.

After spending some time working at it, we looked at each other and came to the same conclusion — this was a job that needed heavier equipment. Sometimes building something meaningful also means knowing when to call in the right help.

So the plan quickly shifted to bringing in someone with a backhoe or similar machinery to properly clear the land and prepare it for what comes next.

It may seem like a small step, but clearing the land is the very first chapter in the journey of Little Wild Farm. Once the land is ready, we can begin shaping the beds, preparing the soil, and planting the seeds that will eventually grow into the farm we’ve been dreaming about.
