Contemplating a Homestead Move

After seven years of deep south living, we are considering moving our homestead to southern Oregon. 
 
A move is going to mean a lot of things, for one, starting over with our gardens, composts, and livestock.  It means getting rid of a lot of stuff and finding new employment.  There is also the change of environment, as well as a 4,000 ft change in elevation!
 
But it also means something else.  The homestead property we are looking into is more independent.  Unlike where we live, the Oregon property is on a well, and as of now the only power into the property is by generator or solar, which promises true off-grid living.  It also means a much smaller house payment, and the opportunity to be mortgage free in just a few years.
 
It will take months before we can really move forward with any plan to leave our current area, but we are excited by the prospect of a new adventure.
 
Stay tuned!
