RE: Avoid Homestead Culture Shock - IT'S REAL!

in #homesteading7 years ago

Back in 1999, when I moved from the third populated city in the state to a village with a population of under 600- culture shock was an understatement. The closest grocery store was 45 minutes away and if you forgot an ingredient, you made do and it went in the list for the next visit another week. Never knew that before I moved but it did help me become more creative.

That is one thing I have noticed in all things. You make do with what you got. If the farmers around here have an equipment breakdown, they make do or fix it with what they have rather than run to town for a part. The lady we get our milk from, never left her homestead until she was 11 years old.
