Which is a Food Forest and a permaculture farm.

Hopefully with a river on the land so we can build a hydro dam.

Living autonomously is normal for a large number of people

I don't see how this idea is ridiculous

Yeah, you just need to live in an unincorporated township, or outside of any municipality.

Internet and cell phones might become a luxury, but that is perfectly doable

Nah. You can easily build a tower and rent it to the telecom companies.

Or pay them to put a receiver or whatever

They're always looking to expand their coverage.

I guess, if I was doing that I would rather cut off most communication though

Keeping communication open would be beneficial

As I would be looking to sell walnuts and fruit to the rich folk in the city.

Make some rustic crafts to sell too?

Could.

I was thinking solid hardwood furniture.

And alcohol

Lol

Homebrew sells for a mint

Yeah. Maybe try to make a high proof spirit from maple water.

Especially exotic stuff so nut beer and apple vodka

That'd sell well here.

I'm thinking of growing hazelnut and walnuts.

Along with a variety of apples and beans.

Some berries, maybe cherries if I can find a tasty variety that is hardy enough.

I didn't know beans grow well up there

Haha, beans grow anywhere.

And here we're zone 5-6

Ok

So we can grow most things short of tropical fruits and citrus.

The beans are for the qualities they offer the soil though.

Not a cash crop.

Remember,variety in crop species, don't wanna get potatoe famined cause you only use one genus

Hahahahahaha

That's what permaculture is all about!

It's about a farm that could live on even without a human

I'd work in tandem with the land.

That's why I would like to grow walnuts

@Summī Imperator, 呪い殿 Sounds great

They're difficult to kill, and they taste great

Just hard to process.

Need a beastly nut cracker.
