So Dan,where are you planning on building this place? I would suggest somewhere with definite seasons, where it is cold part of the year. Keeps the slackers out. And also requires wood splitting, which will fit in nice with your fitness regimen. Naturally fertile soils, adequate rainfall so no irrigation needed. If you want to make cheese and sausage that will require cows and pigs. Might as well have some chickens too. Which will all require pasture and grain. Barley isn't as good a feed as corn, but if you stuck to one crop it would keep equipment costs down. The barley could be malted as well as fed to the livestock. Any spent grain would be more valuable as feed for the livestock than compost.
All in all it sounds like a pretty good plan, but we need more details. Except for the bath every day part, not sure I'm down with that....
Don't forget sandstone or limestone nearby. We need to carve out some lagering caves!

You my friend bring up some very good ideas! I'll have to check with Pappy to find out where exactly HomeBrewTown is. Even though I have a corner plot I'm not really sure of its location.
Four seasons is a great suggestion. We'll make cider in the fall when the apple trees are busting with fresh apples. Plant our grains early in the year and harvest around summer time. In the winter we can plant wheat, it will be tilled under or harvested. We win either way. As this town progresses and people have children, they will be raised by us as a community. Serious question here. What religion are we? Are we all the same? In my heart I believe every man and woman is the same, we have different outlooks on life depending on how we were raised.
HappyTown, (yeah I just suggested a name) will be one filled with respect for each other, perseverance for our brother, happiness and love for one another. Wouldn't it be nice

V-man. Our town will be close to mountains. BobbiLynn will make butter. This town, we will keep from growing exponentially. It will be our little town.
I am in for sure. I can hunt and trap selling the furs for money.
Mmm, bacon. Though I've heard that pastrami is the most sensual of the cured meats.I don't know if I could be married to someone who doesn't understand the seductive power of bacon fat.

This is definitely the kicked back thread on here. In general the mods frown on chat threads, but this one has done fine because of the excellent vibes.
Not trying to make this a political thread. But I''m gonna post a song from Johnny Cash. It's about a small town and pride in America. This song brings tears to me, aint going to lie about that. So, at the risk of taking this thread off track. (which is pretty much impossible) Here's my hero Johnny Cash and one of my favorite songs by him.

I sure hope I can join you all in Happy Town. This picture, and the resin casting of a gravestone are the only decorations on my living room walls.

I think this shows why he was loved by so many - even people who wouldn't normally listen to that style of music. He definitely knew how to relate to the everyday man!
Damn I missed a lot. My daughters been sick

This is one that always sends chills up my spine (especially this version which has been on my iPod for years.)

We are going to start a commune near a mountain and for some reason I have to make the butter.
What's up guys? Back at work after a nice long weekend, then I'm on vacation (staycation) next week. How's everyone else?
