Petaluma is pretty country, I've been through there many times. They now have a heirloom seed store thanks to Baker Creek seeds! So you'd have access to some wonderful heirlooms right at hand =) Good luck and stay focused on your dream!

I remember when Petaluma was known for wrist wrestling and the Chicken Capitol of te World, and that was not a good thing. I have not been there since Baker seed went it, Petaluma was just getting trendy when I left. But I love the midwest, just miss the west coast way of thinking and the hippies.

Forget buns of steel, I'd rather have buns of cinnamon!

Hi Carol:

I know that state of mind, but the nice thing is you can take state(s) of mind whereever you go. We don't see much of the hippie state of mind in plasticland (Los Angeles). Start some "state of mind" in your area. Forget the hairy armpits maybe [lol].

Hi there! I am on a mission to move from Los Angeles, CA to anywhere in the rural United States! I have been here all of my life and long for the wide open spaces. I need an education and I am turning to the SISTERS for help. Where do I go? How do I get there? What I should know before I head out? I am not a farmer, but I would like to be self-sufficient. I am not looking to raise cattle, but some chickens and goats would be nice. I want to live at the end of a little road and have a little house with a little land. Am I dreaming? Is there some coffee I should be smelling?

Remember Green Acres the TV Show? A verse from the song goes something like this....if my memory serves me well..

Green Acres is the Place for me,(can't remember this part) so much for the memory..anyway
land stretchin out so far and wide, leave Manhattan and give me that countryside. I can relate to this song, and these posts...Get me Outta Here! Is right.... I live in a city a very large,noisy busy city, south Of Cleveland Oh. Been in this area all my life, but I want to change it, have a little land enough so I don't smell my neighbors coffee in the morning, or hear the boom boxes. Somewhere where flowers grow wild, you can sit out at night and actually see the stars, where the wind gently makes the windchimes sing, where I can hang clothes, and have chickens, and.........the list goes on...I would trade all the convienant stores and shopping, stop lights, and emergency vechicles for some land a house that sits on it...Hope is a wonderful thing. Unemployment has a way of getting in the way...we have been detoured for a while..but the path will be made straight again.
