So, in a few years we will be in the ozark mountains of south central Missouri... growing food, raising cattle, cutting firewood...
Self sufficiency, healthy living, and less reliance on monitary gain are what I am mostly looking forward to.
The beautiful area and laid back lifestyle are a bonus.Jim
Jim, that's a great thought/dream but in reality, it's a lot of year round hard work and unless you are in your very early 20's when you start this new life - it's a lifestyle that's very hard to adjust to if you try it much past your mid-30's. Having a nice piece of remote land with an old cabin, mobilhome or trailerhouse on it, a couple hours from your "main house", is a lot more enjoyable throughout your lifetime. I wish you well if you decide to give it a GO.
