Hello Rebecca,
I'm reading your posts with interest as I'm currently researching the Willamette Valley as a location for a new TV series about homesteading for the History Channel. I'm also quite envious as I live in London in the UK and miss undulating greenery.
Could I ask you for some more general insights about the area to help me build a better sense of the place. If anyone else reading this has any advice I'd really appreciate it.
I want to know about the topography of the area and what sort of farming is possible, what the climate is like - what is tough and what is easy to achieve there? Are there lots of properties available to buy or is it rare to find land and incredibly expensive?
We are probably looking for a plot 30 acres-100 acres - where a completely sustainable life is possible, so water source, timber, potential to build, farm and the biggest request is that it'd be as remote as possible - the less infrastructure and road access the better. I think of the West Coast as being more populated than the East, and having much better resources so do you still get these pockets of solitude there?
If you have any insights at all, I'd be glad for the help and especially your local knowledge.
Best wishes,
Jo
