I was raised on farms in Illinois and Nebraska, but moved to a large city in the South ten years ago, and hate it. I just cannot get used to all the people, it's like living in an ant farm or something, and they are all so rude and weird, to me.
I sure hope that you're able to move to a big farm/ranch and have a great life there, it's awesome. It's a LOT different than living in a city though, so be prepared for that if you aren't familiar with it.

Congrats! Farms are great. I grew up on a farm. It's been in the family since my great grandparents came over to this country. I would like to live there again one day, but I'm last in line for inheritance of the farm after all my brothers.
Country life is great, best wishes to you in your search for a farm/ranch!

I grew up on a farm of about 700 acres. 300 farmed. 400 pines. It is a lot of work. Most people nowadays couldn't handle it. It is also a lot of fun. I learned to drive at 9. A tractor of course. Learned to drive a truck at 10. Had 700 acres to hunt on and 2 four acre ponds to fish in. We ate what we killed, grew, or caught. Simple life but I miss it. The worst part is that every body knows everything about everybody. Your closest neighbor may be 2 miles away but they know if someone comes to visit you and what they are doing there almost before you do. The rumor mills run rampant in rural america.

This is what God meant for us to do, dress and keep the earth. There is no better way to understand scripture than to live an agrarian life. Most of the bible is written in agrarian terms. What better way to understand, for example, the parable of the sower?
My farm is only five acres. It does have to be huge to be a satisfying life, and BONUS: You don't have to worry about the big Ag businesses modifying your food or meat.
You go girl!

I used to live on a 373 acre farm. Had 63 sheep. It was fun.

i live in the country and love it...you can see the stars shine at night and spectacular sun rises and sun sets. we use to have a lot of animals, most of which became pets, but now too old and tired to take care of anything but my cat.
it is hard work, we only have 5 acres but if it something you enjoy, there are lots of rewards. Good luck.
