  1. A very admirable endeavor and I look forward to the second installment. My own story, while similar is not quite as life changing. We moved from the streets of Chicago to a one stop light village with a total population of 1,200.

    It took a while to shed the heightened level of anxiety that comes with living in the city but we too, have blended in to our community.

    Nice article.

  2. I find it funny that our timelines are nearly identical. I too, in my mid forties made the big move to a rule life. I had always lived on smaller acreage, but worked in a very large city on the west coast. I moved to 80 acres in MO in 2012.
    I too bought a older home that needed a great amount of work to make it even close to what we wanted. My wife had a hard time with the home part of the move, but as we have completed project after project on the house, I think she has found great comfort in the house and area we have chosen. Maybe some day I will write a post about the things that we did that seemed to be good choices, and those that maybe were not so great. Good luck, and I look forward to reading the rest of your article.

  3. You know about 5 years back I planted raspberry hybrid vines that produce Spring & Fall. What a great payoff over time. I wish you well with your 500 tree and vine goal over 5 years. Could pay back for 50 years or more. Thinking ahead saves effort & resources geometrically over time.

  4. Your hard work and percerviance may only manifest after you’re gone but I believe your ideals will live on for generations to come through your bloodline and those who head your word there are times in history when men of influence do not get any note you Norman Franklin are one of those men God speed !
