Sick of your job/city/lifestyle - This is not a money making scheme

I am a 34 year old Telecom Engineer. I have 40 acres in the heart of the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas. My family and I lived there for 3 years we raised goats, chickens and a fully organic garden. We could get organic fed meat and fresh fruit and vegetables most of the year. There was very little crime. We home schooled our children using a nationally accepted course via mail. The biggest problem we found was we were on our own. Allot of the time my wife was on her own while I was off working in Little rock (150 miles away 3 hours drive) or Tulsa (200 miles away 4 hours drive). We had to move back to the city (East Bay California) so we could be together and make the money necessary to live a "normal" life. We would like to move back there and make our living off the land using the Internet and our own skills. We cannot do this alone. Our interests are in people who are like-minded, from wherever you are and whatever you do. We want people who will work on the land and live peacefully. People who don't care about your race, creed, color or beliefs as long as they are peaceful and you are responsible. Does this sound interesting to you. We would like to start discussing this with people who would be interested. Please feel free to send us and email no matter who you are. We already have the property we just need to get the people together. There is one house on the property a brick garage and a shed/chicken coop.

hi, i dont know how i came across your story, but very interesting. We live in the East bay California too. Antioch..Good luck, sounds like an exciting plan..I know what you mean about the rat race. You might want to place an add in the organic mag..specify if you will be parceling out your land. Good luck!
