Oh! You are South!
My first two years here were difficult. It was a new area for both of us. We were first known as the 'tent people', then became the 'hippies on the hill', now we Belong. It's been a journey.
This area has seen so many homesteaders recently come, and in a single season they go.
I guess we needed to show our what we are made of first. Heart Driven Integrity is what I hope they see.
The issues with folks leaving has me trying to find a way I can help them succeed, here or their next try. I'ts kind of a Pet Project I'm thinking on.
Sounds like a plan. Homesteading is not for the feint hearted.
