Having the same problem mate...I used to live out in Washington and the women there were much more interested in homesteading then they are back here in the Midwest. I had no luck on the dating sites either but I'm not the tall or handsome type, 80% of them just want free meals/drinks, help paying the bills at their house or taking care of their kids. Get a few horses...the ones that call themselves country seem to like that around here (Michigan). I even have the same plans of a commercial kitchen someday. Best of Luck!
