I'm with you there - need to get out. Working on a degree in forestry so I can (hopefully) get a job in a rural area that pays enough to buy some land with arable soil and water. Have you begun any kind of planning process? My spouse and I have a lot of planning already in place. We've even begun a business plan to help secure a loan for a market garden / homestead. Are you doing any urban gardening?
That sounds really cool. Unfortunately I have no plans other than long term ideas right now. I do quite a bit of urban gardening in my little plot, I'm lucky enough to have a nice south-facing garden and terrace. I love what I have but it makes me wish I had a yard!
