If I were to start my own farm, one of the first things that I would make sure to have is a pond. Ponds bring lots of wildlife to the Bahr Farm and watching it explode from the time we stocked it with fish in march to the end of summer was a clear example of how important it is to a farm. Livestock is definitely something else that would be a must have on any farm. They are a great source of income if you raise them to be processed, as long as you are aware of how much work it takes.
