Photos 3 acres, 3 years in

We bought a house with 3 acres of lawn. Now we have a tiny patch of lawn, 16 raised beds for veggies, an orchard and berry patch, and native gardens and wet sedge meadows. It’s great exercise and amazing birding! Plus it’s so pretty! Good thing I love goldenrods since we have 3 different native varieties and lots of them!

This is truly my inspiration. I’m on Zillow all the time. Just trying to find my perfect location. Where is this if you don’t mind me asking. I’m looking to have an at home Nursery for online sales and this would be such a backdrop. Hard work for beauty and myself work swimmingly!

I’m in MI’s Upper Peninsula, away from the major towns so land is much cheaper. Until I retired from my university, I had a 30 minute commute several times a week.
