Robert North, I am also looking for a young woman looking to live off grid and homestead. I have not purchased the property yet but would be open in help picking out a place. I kind of like the Ozarks but again I am open for suggestions. I want to live simple…I done it for six months and never felt better. At the time my wife considered it a hell hole but I had everything I needed except for someone to share it with. I don’t have the wife anymore so I am starting over. Anyone want to help?
