Anna, thanks for another great post. I recently finished reading Growing into a Farm, and I was wondering if you had any advice on selecting property. I looked through the archives because I seemed to remember you writing about looking for new property more recently (based mostly on price) but couldn't find the post. I would appreciate any direction to past posts, or advice, especially regarding what elements such as water , ration of cleared land to forest, orientation of the land to the sun, etc. Thanks!

Maggie --- I address that issue a bit in the section "Ugly Duckling Property" in Trailersteading. But it's really a tough question to answer because your choices will be highly personal. For example, most people would hate being flooded in a dozen times a year, but I find it restful.

Thanks! I'll check it out!
