I currently live in Virginia but the gulf coast has always had my heart, my ancestors were FL pioneers and I think it is time to look into a permanent move. I do not have much to bring to the table financially, however I am extremely interested in keeping alive the old traditions of homesteading. The more rural the better, I do have a truck and a few belongings. I am physically very healthy and resilient. I am looking for something that could at least provide temporary housing, even if it is a tent, so I can get back on my feet. In turn, I am willing to work as many hours as needed to pull my weight. While I do not have a specific area of expertise, I grew up learning depression-era skills from my grandmother, and seem to have a gift with horses, although it has been a long time. I would absolutely love something working with animals, but am open to just about anything.

We have narrowed our search down to pretty much Northern Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia. Our previous posts mention moving to a "community" but I feel that may misrepresent what we are actually looking for. We just want a group of friendly neighbors with community values. We're the lonely folks walking city crowds because our neighbors live faster and busier than we care to. I feel like what we are looking for is widely available outside of cities, but we wouldn't know and that doesn't help us narrow our search for home.
We are 34M and 29F. Monogamous, thanks for asking and sorry to disappoint half of you. We are driving around these states January-March searching for a place to settle permanently. We're self-sufficient in our own car. We're WWOOFing too. We feel pretty clueless on where to go though. We're just wandering around aimlessly. We are looking for a mix of rural and urban life, so maybe 30 - 100 minutes outside of a city is a good sign. We will need work once we move, and my trade is carpentry. So if there is work you need done, that would be a tremendous help to me and I'd cut you a deal.
Whether or not you have work though, please reach out so that we might make introductions and perhaps visit with hopes of becoming good neighbors. Lost folks like us also appreciate directions if you have any.
Thank you!

Do you have a list of fruit/nut tree that "ripen" in January (really November to April), I would rather eat fresh fruits vs preserved/imported ones.
