How to choose a homestead and why we picked our Vermont Homestead

After spending my entire adult life and over 20 years of our marriage in US Military service, it became necessary to find our family its forever home. Over the course of 30 years in uniform, I had been to 47 US States and 29 foreign countries. As a family, we had lived in small towns, expanding cities, suburbs and large metropolitan areas in the US and Europe. So, our desire was to get away from thickly populated areas and return to simpler ways of life. Sometime before my last 2 years in the service, a family crisis caused our family to relocate to Vermont to care for an aging Aunt who had developed Alzheimer’s. I was deployed at the time and took my R&R leave to start scouting our potential real-estate options near our Aunt’s home. The search yielded only one real candidate – our current home. It had all the necessities I had considered essential for a self-sustained existence. There were multiple “off-grid” water sources, numerous fruit trees, berry patches, some very fertile soil, and enough acreage to grow food and raise animals. So, the family crisis brought us ”full-time” to the Vermont region we had been visiting for decades. The love for the lifestyle and area made this homestead our top choice for expanding on our a forever home…and for making it as off-grid as possible.
