Before You Buy Land
Avoid Costly Mistakes and Build Your Farm the Right Way from Day One
Built from Real Experience — Not Theory. This is the roadmap Larry & Theresa Brown of Keevy's Farms wish they'd had before buying their own land.
Module 1: The Foundation (Free) — Your "Why" and Your Wallet
Lesson 1.1: Our Story — From City Tragedy to Farm Life
A few years ago, our lives were turned upside down by a family tragedy. In that moment of darkness, we made a decision that changed everything: we were going to build a life that was rooted, intentional, and self-sufficient. We started looking for land. That land is now Keevy's Farms. We built it from the ground up, with our own hands. We made a lot of mistakes. We spent money we didn't need to spend. We learned lessons the hard way. And now, we want to share everything we know with you.
Key ideas: a powerful personal "Why" guides every decision when things get hard. Leaving city life was a calculated risk, not a blind leap. "We didn't know what we didn't know — and that cost us."
Reflect: What is pushing you away from your current life? What is pulling you toward the farm? What does your ideal Tuesday look like five years from now?
Lesson 1.2: The #1 Mistake — Underestimating the Total Cost
The land price is just the "entry fee" — the real costs come after: well, septic, power hookup, driveway, clearing, fencing, barns, equipment. A 20–30% contingency fund is mandatory, not optional. Even experienced farmers underestimate costs — plan for reality, not the vision.
