Seeking Farmland

This is energising. While I was on Juniper Farm last year, 3 people who were doing a huge bike tour came and stayed a night or two, not long after I first arrived.

After much cycling, and some soul searching, it seems like two of them at least have found just what they need (see link).

It's energising because of the possibilities I see forming for me/us.

All I "need" is a couple of acres of ideally flattish land and I can, assuming I put in the hard work and have some financial sense, earn a modest living growing vegetables.

That's what I want! Sure, I can take sideline work that'll pay much better, and I probably will do, but to at least work outside 3-4 days a week, for a good part of the year.. heaven!

We are considering our options (I more than Kara, she's happy just being - I envy her!!). There are a couple of plots of land not *too* far from civilisation, er, Ottawa and Kara's family - $20 - 40k for 10-15 acres, which in truth would be plenty.

Or, there is a family friend's 90+ acre plot near Perth.

The other promising option is an Ecovillage in the forming near Lanark, which has much that a bare plot of land does not - an impressive woodworking shop not least. It does not, however, have much in the way of flat land... but we'll see.

Exciting possibilities for the future! And, clearly, possible - not just a pipe dream! Hurrah!
