Summary

In this video titled "WHAT HAPPENED To the FARM??," the speakers discuss the evolution of their homesteading journey, particularly focusing on the challenges they've faced with their farm, Guildbrook Farm, and their current lifestyle choices.

Key Lifestyle Tips and Highlights

homesteading Journey: The speakers initially wanted to learn homesteading skills, including canning and raising chickens, to grow their own food.
Challenges with Livestock:
- Limited space and restrictions in suburbia hindered their ability to raise animals.
- Moving to a raw land presented new challenges such as clearing land and building infrastructure for livestock, which is costly and time-consuming.
- Their dietary preferences (mostly vegan) do not justify raising livestock like goats or chickens.
Gardening Experience:
