I'm still in the north east at the moment but have my mind made up to move. I am going to be farming and certainly bee keeping so I'll be in touch. Thanks for reaching out and offering the help, brother.
Growing food is paramount. Move to a growing zone that best supports the kind of gardens you need. You can, with the proper infrastructure, grow all the food you need in 1 acre of land. No need for 10 acres. 3 acres is plenty. My concern would be, who are my neighbors? Research zoning laws, mineral rights? Well water? Maybe buy land with no dwelling? I tell people all the time, “nothing will get cheaper from now on”.
I'm in Connecticut now and it sucks. I'm going to Idaho when we can. I am looking for 5 acres of vacant land in an area that has little to no zoning. I plan on raising chickens and rabbits and growing root vegetables. I also want to keep bees and make various products, including meade.
Sounds like a great plan. I cannot imagine living the in the northeast. When you make your escape, you are welcome to stop by as you roll your wagons west.
