Looking for some honest feedback. I come from a small town on the mainland. Have lived all over the country from small villages in Alaska to small towns in Georgia and have visited the island. Over the years I have found that the 60 hour corporate work weeks and lifestyle that comes with it are not where my roots are leading me. I want to get back to farming / ranching and a community of people. Recently, I have been looking at some ranch land north of the DHHL. I have done the necessary reading to know it is windy and off the grid and what it generally would take to sustain a home with my family (windbreak, solar, water issues, etc.) What I do not know and would like to better understand is if over time I can acclimate to the community? I have small children and want to teach them right. Any advice or feedback is welcome and appreciated.
