So, as much as we purchase good food and spend good money on it, I don't think raising my own would cut out any cost. I'm quite sure buying land, the feed, and the slaughter will cost way more, but it is my hunch, just as my tomatoes from my garden taste 3000 times better than any organic tomatoes from the store, I'm sure my meat, from my animals will taste that much better too.
I went to look at this property a few days ago. 6 1/2 acres and a house that is in need of a ton of work. That's ok because I'd like to do my own repairs; adding solar panels, deck out the kitchen, that sort of stuff. So a perfect house is not what I want to buy anyways. The property is in this little unincorporated town. As out of the way as this country town is, it still has a very residential look to it so I was very curious as to what the land was actually zoned. Even though there is a pole barn, pasture fencing, and a chicken coop, the neighbors are very close. Good thing I called the county before I got too attached to it. It's zoned residential. Not even in small unincorporated town America do they want farm animals. I'd have better luck farming in the inner city. There the people are too busy shooting eachother to notice a few chickens.
