How Our Homestead Journey in Newport, TN Grew with Passion, Purpose, and Practicality
My wife and I run a homestead/farm in the Smokey Mountains of Newport, TN. We started out with a few chickens and now we have multiple animals and crops. We both have a passion for working together and working to provide for others.
We started with 2 rabbits and quickly it became 30 and so on. We realized rabbits have so much to offer. They are one of the best sources of fertilizer, which my wife loves for the garden. They are cute and affectionate when you treat them with love and care. They are also one of the best sources of efficient meat breeding.
