Alright! So I'd like to caution you to read the entirety before responding... or closing it in disgust 
Me and my fiance are buying land and moving up north soon. We're wanting to buy the land outright and build a log home right from the land, at least for the most part, and live a homesteading life.
Gardening, hunting, fishing, and raising livestock will be a big part of life. We'd like to have some sheep, probably a Dall ram and Blackbelly ewes, or some goats. I'm thinking ducks for eggs, and the occasional duck dinner makes sense up there. I would absolutely LOVE to have some horses and a few donkeys, and last but not least, a breeding pair of Jersey cattle for milk, cheeses, butters and cream. Animals aren't just a use though, they really bring a type of happiness to life with their personalities.
We're planning on putting in solar for things like lighting, occasional internet and movies, but for the most part, we want to live the old way. The more conveniences and comforts people buy, the more enslaved they are. Of course, there's always a compromise. I want to have an indoor bathroom that leads to a leach-line and septic. I want to be able to take a shower every day, and I want a hot tub on the balcony so we can watch the northern lights and relax at the same time!
We want to live close to nature, live with the seasons and, probably the most important part of all of this, to be able to spend life together. One of the biggest reasons to homestead is being able to raise your kids instead of sending them to school, to have your loved ones with you instead of at work, because you're all working together, creating memories and just living life.
She's 30, about 5'9 and pretty natural, doesn't like to wear makeup, etc. I just turned 45, 6.' I've definitely been described as earthy.
She's talked me into the idea of a woman joining us in triad. She wants to have kids. If you want kids too, that's great. If not, that's ok, but kids will definitely be part of our lives. So if you don't like kids, that's a no-go. We want someone who wants to be a family and isn't just after a fling, someone that wants to love and be loved till the end of days... and of course, someone who loves the idea of homesteading!
