Welcome to Acreage Living in Alberta!
What is an acreage?
An acreage is a parcel of land that can range from one to several acres. Our current rented acreage allows us use of almost 30 acres, most of which is trees and a ravine. We are able to harvest several hay bales each year, which provides food for our horses and alpacas throughout the winter.
I have built raised garden beds which provide us with fresh produce throughout the summer, and a surplus which is preserved for winter use. We are also fortunate enough to have two rows of saskatoon trees which we thoroughly enjoy. Some years the harvest is plentiful and other years we have only enough for fresh eating, but either way we feel blessed to have them so accessible.
I have started this blog to cover the many aspects of triumphs and challenges we as acreage dwellers face. We are planning on buying our own in the future, and living where we do now has helped me figure out what I want when we do take the plunge. Join me as I document the interesting and sometimes not-so-interesting events that happen, and please feel free to share your acreage living experiences as well.
All proceeds from this blog will be used for helping us achieve our goal of owning our own acreage in the future. Please come back often to see photos, learn about different aspects of rural living and try the recipes I will be posting from time to time. Thank you for your support! :)
