Many here will recall the story of the Canadian Family who sold their farm in Ontario, packed up 8 of their 9 children, (the eldest son stayed behind in Canada to marry his sweetheart) and immigrated to Russia. They are farmers, and for the better part of a year they have been looking for suitable land to settle on.

Buying a farm in Russia can be complicated. Most Russian farmers live in villages and commute to their farms. Not all farm land qualifies for a home building permit, and there are regulations about foreigners owning Russian farm land. If I have it right, after finding land that met their needs Aaron needed to incorporate in order to complete the sale.

In anticipation of closure on the purchase of 85 hectares (212 acres) of farm land, the family bought a used garden tractor, complete with a 2 bottom plow and a roto tiller. The machinery was stored for two weeks in the city with the help of friends. Their newly acquired piece of land has a beautiful woodlot that adjoins to a piece of land on a lower bench.

The biggest expense for the family of 10 is food. Therefore it is imperative to get a garden plot ready and get seeds in the ground. It is already well into June, and the growing season is short. In this video Aaron, Aneesa and family spend their first days at their new homestead preparing the soil and planting a vegetable garden.

At Home In Russia! Finally home! Exciting adventures!
