After some decades of living on farms, creating sustainable systems of food, wood and floral, The best thing would be a fairly open contract to buy someone out of assets that are accounted for as equity. The land would be in the foothills, with a slight slope and topsoil that is drained or can be tiled to become drainable. We could use 10 -20 acres for orchards, for grazing poultry and production of herbs, for the use of making animal habitats with useful plants, and for the learning environment of the adolescent youth. Higher elevation might be best for many reasons. Air flow, given no cold sink or bowl shaped that collect cold moisture, is very helpful. If there are older fruit trees, removing bugs and disease from the picture can be more difficult. Mostly my partner and I are rare beings that like to be surrounded by nature and to make that our living as I have since 1998 and she since she met me in 2010. Jana takes care of animals and I to collect useful plants. We are both considered Biofeliacs. The problem with being a biofeliac is that one is driven to farm the earth all of your spare time.
