Agreed. The well was put in several years ago, but never had a pump installed. The well is 650' deep so the pump alone will cost over $10,000. We also have a spring fed pond but it's a 1/2 mile away. My wife plans to plant her garden in 1/3 sections each year and rotate.I've built several homes now, and the first thing I do is get a well. You need water for just about every step of building.
I like the garden size your planning. I ran out of room to plant, with 20x 80 roughly. I have a large grass covered area, with full sun, and will probably expand into it next year.
