Who lives in Virginia?
- Thread starter Agent 0659
- Start date
Shenandoah? Wow!
Back to dial-up I suppose.
That's one of those places where people go to visit and disappear, never to be found again :sadwave:
Growing your own food there is not a 'want', it's a 'need'. No stores to be found.
PUHLEEZE! Didn't you live in some little spitpuddle town in Maryland? Accident or something? (Accident is a town in Garrett County, Maryland, United States. The population was 353 at the 2000 census. The population of ACCIDENT was 340 as of the year 2005.)
When was it you moved to IN? I'm guessing your move had a larger impact on the census than Agent's will.

According to zip codes, only 9 miles to the nearest........
How about Walmart? :0003
In Shenandoah :mj07:
Hunting and whittling much more popular :0074
I'm mostly kidding (I think)
Harrisonburg is where her parents and sister live. Beautiful area. We found our dream house not far from there. They made a counter offer today, now we are thinking about itopcorn2
"Farming" is probably the wrong word. I guess homesteading is a better description.
As of 2010 the term may apply to anyone who follows the back-to-the-land movement by adopting a sustainable, self-sufficient lifestyle. While land is no longer freely available in most areas of the world, homesteading remains as a way of life. According to author John Seymour, 'urban homesteading' incorporates small-scale, sustainable agriculture and homemaking.
We don't really have any experience but we have grown a pretty decent garden and done a lot of canning, etc. Gotta start somewhere! Aqua-ponics is something I have been interested in and studied for a while. I am starting with Talapia and Catfish. I can't wait to watch my vegetarian wife lop the head off a Heritage Turkey:SIB
Awesome !
Good luck with the new life style !
I know of many sites, which I am sure you know some as well?
If you would like me to post or email them, let me know.
:toast:
I've been on the skyline drive many times, I've driven thru the area many times and I've camped there several times. It's really pretty especially in the fall. I just can't imagine YOU, of all people, living there.
Google Harrisonburg man. I think are mistaken about my location:facepalm:
We are far far far more isolated where we live now.

Ok, I had you farther up NE between the mountains but still :shrug:
I can't picture you there :0002
They have a great apple season too :0008
Sorry, I'm just having fun with this. You'll see what I'm talking about when you go for the interview. Gene Hackman in Hoosiers comes to mind
Reminds me of a sitcom
How is it John-Boy is dressed up real nice but the guy on the right has suspenders?
Just ain't right I tell ya!
Agent, in our quest to eat healthier I thought I read that tilapia is extremely unhealthy, very high in omega-6...is that true? Did you factor that in?
moving is a great opportunity to get rid of a lot of crap in the garage or attic...:0001

We (the family) are packing up in mid June and moving to Port Republic, Virginia.
We made an offer on a house yesterday!
6 acres. We will grow all our own food. Chickens, turkeys, aqua-ponics, the whole bit. I am flying out Tuesday for an interview at a school in the area for basketball coach:00hour
Her family is there, and it's about a 7 hour drive from Indy. Time to get the little ones off the mountain and close to those that matter most.
