Water - yes, that will be a big deal when we figure out where to go to. Being in CA now and having no rain, one is completely dependent on the city utilities (whether it’s water directly or electricity).

I ‘think’ KY gets enough rain for farming, but I’m not entirely sure.

Kansas doesn’t?

Sure, I’ll keep in touch. Will you be able to check back here or is this a temporary interlude?

I'll be around here, but keeping up with the farm and both websites takes a bunch of time. I would certainly contribute to a new homesteading thread in honor of granny, if anyone decides to do that. If you hear anything, let me know! And you can always send me a message at the farm website.

And no, for the past two years our temps here in Kansas have been higher than normal in the summer, and rainfall has been lower than normal. I'd rather be in Washington or Oregon, but the politics and homeschooling laws are pretty sucky. Maybe northern Idaho would be my choice. I really don't want to be on a coast, but at least further north the summer temps wouldn't be so bad, so everything wouldn't need as much water. If the summers continue on they way they have here, I just don't see how I can stay long term. We'll see.

Kentucky is so, so beautiful. What made you choose that state?

I've lived in Tennessee and hubby is from South Carolina, and while I love to visit, the southern culture is just too different for me.
