Intro, Miami to NC

Hello all
Myself and my family have finally decided to pull the trigger on a move to NC.
we left NJ 6 years ago to move to FL and have been pretty much displaced ever since.
we are currently in Homestead FL on 1/4 Acre have just discovered that poultry of any kind is not allowed here(have chickens listed on our lease), even though every other house in the neighborhood has chickens we just happen to live next door to "that guy" .
We should have moved to NC years ago as that was our original plan but we went to FL as we had some family there to help us along.

We raise Chickens, Quail and Rabbits we garden as extensively as our property allows.
Would like to start meeting like minded people in the Asheville and surrounding area.
Our lease is up here in August and we are trying like mad to find a place within an hour of Asheville for work purposes. Career Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Manager.
We have 3 young children 6,5,3
and are looking for rentals or rent to own properties if anyone has any leads. we are poised to buy if the shoe fits however would like to spend some time there before purchasing.

Thanks for your time
Looking forward to Interacting with the community here..

I moved up from Central Fl and enjoyed the ease of returning to Florida in the winter for some years. We found a logged over paradise off 25 north of Asheville and by looking at the tax maps I see our neighbors still own vast swathes of forest land complete with the old-timey farms. You might write Juanita Stump 4062 Chapel Hill Rd Marshall, Nc 28753 and tell her the boys who fixed up Wallin's place behind Gentry's remember when Bill offered them a tipple.

Wow thank you for the advice!
I will do that asap.
