I've been waiting to start this thread for a long time, it took a while before I even had enough of anything to show you guys.
We call the farm The Big Woods because it has the bigger woods on it of our two places...the other of course is called The Little Woods and I will start a thread for it too sometime.
I finally got a satellite pic that shows it with some of the improvements we have made so you guys can see kind of what I'm blathering about. The farm has a woods on it of around fifteen acres of mixed hardwoods. Just to the north of woods is around a fifteen acre pasture that is planted to native grasses that we put two wetland ponds in that have been a lot of fun. Just north of that is some tillable ground and above that is a nice river that is loaded with every kind of fish Ohio has and seasonally a lot of waterfowl go through. Also lots of deer and turkeys just to the north of me along river...luckily for the most part my neighbors are pretty easy to get along with.
Here is a pic kind of showing the area, besides the river to my north I am in a very high ag county of rotated crop fields and small woodlots that are from a few acres to sixty acres. Our place is right in the middle.
This shows just the farm, the time period would have been a couple years ago right after we first put the ponds in. Our orchard is where the old homestead used to be, we have around fifty apple and pear trees planted there a couple peach and four cherry trees. Some of the trees are around 9'-10' now and are doing pretty good...our bigger trees are at the other farm they are a couple years older than these.
Here is the thread I started when we started work on the ponds showing the work and progress on those;
