Honeymoon Tree Farm
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 5 ธ.ค. 2023
We are creating our Honeymoon Tree Farm! A blend of Forever Dream Home, landscape propagation nursery, sustainable homestead, all season Rainbow Arboretum, mound layer tree farm, diverse regenerative orchard, scenic display garden, friendly community outreach, private family retreat with park and walking/rolling trails (and anything else I may have forgotten)... all disability friendly, safe, and easy to maintain (or so we hope it will be!). Starting out from scratch on this beautiful piece of Earth in upstate NY, our hurdles to overcome include the weight, pain, and mobility issues of both starting out at over 50 along with a spinal cord injury that has him participating from a wheelchair - and whatever other useful vehicles he can find a way to get into!
The inspiration is high, the excitement is real, and we are finding true joy and purpose in pursuing this together as a team. This - designing and creating our dream life together - is what a honeymoon should feel like. :)

Lots of markers put out to show where various plants and trees will be placed. The pond went dry and we were able to clear out most of the dead trees around it and improve the channel where the water comes through the culvert in the road to the pond. We also started building a shed!

We get some wood chipping done and find a good spot to "borrow" some dirt to bring up levels on the driveway and building sites.

Marianna goes exploring and makes a quick trip up to the crescent meadow to see what it looks like in mid summer.
The contractor said it would take THREE FULL DAYS to build this driveway! Drone footage, June 26-28

So we decided to do it ourselves and it only took us three MONTHS! plus a lot of sweat on Marianna's part, pain on my part, patience on Marianna's part and lack of sleep on my part.

Drone video of our latest progress. This was a particularly brutal trip for us. We made good progress, but for me (Donald), trying to spend several hours over 2 days in the excavator and skid steer was really hard on me physically with my pain levels off the chart. I was only able to get 2 or 3 broken hours sleep each night. For Marianna, all the extra help I needed in addition to all the physi...

Over the meadow and through the stream, to the Crescent meadow we go! Halfway back into the property for the first time, you can hear our excitement. Clearly, we are novice off-roaders. :)
I crashed the drone! But got some good views doing it.

Just a short video that shows the new 50 acre home of the HoneyMoon Tree Farm, all on this side of the road and without any buildings. Isn't it beautiful!
