Someplace where there's no humidity!
I want to grow:
Organic Fruits and Veggies and also grow Lavender, Daisies, and Hydrangeas.
I want my family to eat and cultivate Organic foods.
I want to have acres for my family to live and enjoy natural living.
I think I'd name my farm: Graham Family Organic Farm

Grace...I think that price is out of our range. We are trying to find a miracle, I guess....under $300,000. It sounds lovely though.
Thanks for the offer.
hugs-Peg

Western Washington is a great place too. It's a gardener's paradise! No humidity and not many bugs. But property is expensive here.

Oregon is a great place for a small farm. We have llamas and angora goats, and tomatoes bigger than me...the plants, not the tomatoes! :)

Hi Peg
Sorry for the delay - farm life - always busy. I am not sure about the price - I am still in the research stage. There is not much around here that is Organic and last time a realitor approached me because one of his clients was hoping I was selling - he was stating in the neighborhood of $375,000. I have seven fenced in pastures, a forest with a campsite and level ground that we have held events in, one large barn, one small barn and three loafing barns with three water pumps to all barns and pastures. I can give more information but we can talk off line too.
Life on the funny - it is always a Hoot.

Have you thought of Colorado? I have been thinking of selling my organic farm and moving to Alaska - more time for fiber and less work on the farm. I have 35 acres, three bedroom, l and 3/4 bathroom - it is considered four levels log home. My sons have moved on and now I am considering a change if I found the right folks. Just a thought...

i would not suggest south carolina. i love it here but with the humidity right now, it's even too hot to go out to the pool!! and it seems that no matter how much water we give out plants, they droop. :( but(!!) fall is coming!! |

Northern Pa is a wonderful place to farm and upstate NY is prime if you can stand the taxes! We do still get some humidity in the summer but it is very limited. No one in our area even has air conditioners except for the odd window unit. I haven't had a lot of luck at lavender in my garden though, it may be the gardener before you go blaming the garden!

Come to California, if you can afford it. ;)You can grow just about anything here, even up in the mountains. We don't have much humidity, though they get fog along the coast.
This year's an odd year due to a drought and all, but even now we've all got great gardens. Plus, everyone goes for organic, and pays a premium for it with hardly a thought. I think your farm name is great, by the way. I think it gives a sense of...hominess, I guess, to give it your family name. :) |

I think it's great, you should move down to PA, tons of farms over here with an abundance of fruits, veggies, plants and all that good stuff.

Hi Peg:
You certainly don't want to live in Louisiana if you don't want humidity. It's so thick here one can cut it with a knife! LOL I'd move to Wyoming in a heart beat if my hubby would come with me. But, he doesn't do cold/snow weather too good. LOL

Peg- You should move up here to Montana or Wyoming. We don't have humidity! But with some good mulch you can grow just about everything but Oranges, limes, bananas, and lemons. You can grow cherries, apples, plums, apricots- Yum! Lavender, Daisies and Hydrangeas love it up here plus all the garden veggies!
