[QUOTE="adventure_advocate, post: 2684478, member: 35983"] Sounds like you've just done what we are saving and planning for right now! Bought our first house in the burbs a year and a half ago and when we did that we also made a 5 year plan to be out of the city and onto 5+ acres. Our reasons are basically the same as yours, we want to be more self-reliant, we want to KNOW what we are eating, we want to be prepared for job loss and economy collapse (god forbid), and we want land for our 1 and 3 year old to romp on as they grow up. I grew up on 5 acres in the country and miss it incredibly bad. Many of the things we are planning to do once we've purchased a place have already been mentioned, but we want to have solar power, a water well, rain water collection, large garden, chickens, maybe a cow or two, and a fireplace or wood burning stove is a must. All of these things are easily achievable on 5 acres and help big time in preparing for the things you wish to prepare for, so don't listen to these folk saying you haven't got enough land. Congrats on your purchase and keep us updated on the progress! [/QUOTE]
