Small farms are never really finished.
Over time, structures are built, moved, repaired, and repurposed. Animals arrive, some leave, and systems evolve through necessity, observation, trial and error.
Looking back at old videos and photos, we’re reminded how much this little piece of land has changed.
This video is a look back at some of those changes here at Point 6 Acre.

We think change and experiments are good things. It’s how the land — and us — grow.
We used to keep chickens. Now we keep ducks.
It wasn’t a quick decision, and for a time we had both. Over time, though, it became clear which suited this small piece of land better.
In this short video, I share a few of the reasons behind that shift — the practical realities, the trade-offs, and what ultimately works for us here at Point 6 Acre.

Sometimes it’s not about what’s ideal, but what fits.
Some jobs on a small farm look straight forward.
Moving a pile of firewood from one place to another shouldn’t take long. But add a few curious goats, uneven ground, the the general unpredictability of animals, and even a simple task stretches out.
This short video captures one of those moments – a reminder that on a small farm, time doesn’t always move the way you expect it to.

Funny, silly goats! Sometimes it just takes as long as it takes.
In this video, I walk through the shelters around the farm and how they’re actually used day to day.
Some, like the chicken tractor, chick wagon, brooder wagon, and rabbit barn, aren’t in use at the moment – but they’re still part of the overall setup and each served a purpose at one time, and may again in the future.
Over time, we started to see what works, what doesn’t, and what changes.
If you’re setting up or adjusting your own space, this might give you a few practical ideas.
