These are the type of responses I was looking for. Keep going if you wish. I'll read it
the ideal site would be somewhere with a coastal connection, that would open up a load of options, increase the size of the workshop again and start building some real fishing boats, you can farm shellfish and seaweed and it would really increase the appeal to tourists
at the start people would need to be relatively self reliant helping each other when needed, the coop would take a few years to start making any real money, it would be really just settling in to the site and raising a family while tending to the site and investing as much as possible in to the infrastructure, when a fruit is ripe the community gets together and has a bit of a party after picking all of the fruit together, the produce is exported and sold, some basic ingredients and agreed upon major upgrades are brought back
ideally people would agree that outside food should be avoided due to pesticides and additives but a shop stocking some basic commodities that you cant produce easily would be a good idea once you have enough people, rather than having someone run the shop, have it run on the honesty box system where people leave products in their section, most people would be producing something, people would start to fill gaps in the market, if there is a high demand people will learn new skills, by the 2nd generation you may even need to have someone manning the trading post but cameras would be enough to keep people honest in such a small community(if needed at all) this is more ingroup trading with a currency as an easy go between, the idea is not to get rich but rather to facilitate trade between families
as for the site, we would brake it up in to multiple zones
zone 1 would be communal facilities, zone two be left blank as a large community area for now, later it it will become the town with shops, restaurants, an inn, and processing facilities for the produce but im getting off topic, zone 3 would be the families housing leaving plenty of room for expansion, zone 4 would be personal gardens, again leaving plenty of room to go for 20 families to 120 families, zone 5 is the highly manage agroforestry system, zone 6 is animals, zone 7 is a less maintained forest filled with nice lumber producing trees that also produce forage for the animals, if there is still more land it can be used for hunting and lumber
once you have the first generation of well fed, well trained young men hitting 18 you will have a fantastic labour force so you can get to work on building a classic infrastructure and increasing your small hamlet of a village in to a real town, assuming the beach has rocks you have a good source of building material and can model the site on an old English fishing village, you could even market it as a historic recreation and rent out rooms to tourists
Great response! I wonder which coastal state in the US would make a prime destination. Washington? Or maybe Oregon.
Oregon Trails 2.0? Lmao the prime destination for Whites.
not too familiar with the climate of America but i would go for somewhere with harsh winter to keep out the rifraf, Alaska might be the best option, the land is cheap and you have plenty of room to grow
Oregon had an average value of $2,430 per acre. It appears that supply and demand for farm land is what is primarily responsible for driving this increase.
So for less than a quarter mill we could have 100 acres of farm land. I feel like that is very feasible.
ideally you would want a lot more than 100 acres, for 2 million you can get almost 2000 acres in Alaska, just need one rich person who wants a load of stuff named after them
