Homestead forum diaspora

60yo SWM, I grew up in the country and have been trying to get back to the lifestyle for a while. Maybe now I can retire to a small holding. Looking at acreage up in Maine; garden, fish, hunt, chickens, rabbits, maybe a pig or two to harvest in Nov.   It would be nicer with a woman by my side to share in the ups and downs, but there's time yet...
