Default What is the Preston area like?

I was born in Idaho but spent most of my life in Utah. My husband and I were actually looking for land to buy in the Logan, Utah area but stumbled across acreage for sale in the Preston area and then we discovered that was Napoleon Dynamite country (lol - that is beside the point). We are looking to homestead in the area (I know - it sounds so last centuary) and need some info about the little towns out and around Preston. We're probably crazy - but we're environmentalists at heart, love the great outdoors, keep to ourselves and want to live lightly on the land. We've been researching and researching and researching and will hopefully be up there before or after the Napoleon Dynamite festival (I don't know - but the thought of a lot of Dynamite fans in one area is a little eerie) to take a look around.
I'd love to hear from some locals and their advise and opinion and get a 'feel' for the area. I know small towns have a tendancy to be cliqueish and we're not much of extroverts ourselves.
I work from home and my husband is entertaining the idea of a job transfer to Logan. What can we expect if we purchase land and try to homestead in that area? Are the locals friendly? How big is Preston exactly (Please don't tell me they have a Walmart - a.k.a. the evil empire)? Is the climate condusive to planting orchards or vineyards, or berry patches or whatever??
Please let me know anything and everything about the area. By the way - what is the predominate religion there?
