Just purchased an old farm in NY, near Albany, and would love to have it working again. It has 3 pastures, a river and wooded parts totaling about 33 acres. Also has around 5 natural springs and a barn with what looks like 4 cow stalls, 1 horse stall, what looks like a pig penn and a sheep stall.
I'm hopping to start off small, maybe with sheep? Any websites would be great.

They have auctions that are farm related in your area. Check with the locals. They can give you much more information than any website. And they are knowledgeable too !!

Start with your small town local paper. We are from a small farm community and there are always farm auctions which sell everything you have listed. We also have an agricultural fair that does the same. :) Call your local township hall for more. Best of luck to you! Sounds like a great living!

Welcome to the Small Farm Resource! These web pages have been created to help disseminate information of use to people with small farms or rural property. This is a cooperative effort. Some of our information comes from people like you. We are merely playing the part of the organizer and repository.
Hope it helps!!!

Your co-operative extension office is a good place to start.
