Welcome! Florida sucks... I lived there for a short while & couldn't stand it. As for a bakery, you better have a good angle. Seems like towns usually have one already, and the price shoppers go to Kroger/walmart instead.
LOL... Yeah Florida is not the greatest place to live!!! LOL
Check out Oldham County KY. Oldham County offers your family a 1st class education, reasonable home values, good place to raise a kid in a low crime, semi-rural, yet convenient to nearly everything (airports, recreation, shopping, higher education, even pro-sports).
i would recomend western ky to anyone. the cost of living is very reasonable,the people are nice and here you sure will get your 4 seasons let me tell ya! i have lived in other states briefly and nothing compares to west ky in its beauty,good samaritianism and cost of living
Try Tennessee (Metropolitan Nashville) or Colorado (the Front Range/I-25 corridor). You could even try Cheyenne, Wyoming, a comfortably small city of 55,000 with a high quality of life, close to the University of Wyoming and Colorado's Fort Collins, Boulder and Denver.
If you come to Kentucky, come to Northern Kentucky. By far, hands down, no contest, this is the area with the highest quality of life in the Commonwealth. Even the Louisville and Lexington areas have vast expanses of vast "redneck-urbia," or suburban cookie-cutter sprawl populated with low-income rednecks. (Sorry if I sound elitist.) And Lexington, well, it's a very acquired taste, it's ALL suburbia yet feels very small-townish. The rest of Kentucky is just point blank rural.
It doesn't have to be mountains, but a short drive to get there would be nice. Right now it would take me 6 hours to see land that even comes close to an overpass! LOL
A few suggestions here in Kentucky in additions to the ones already made.
Danville
Somerset
London
Morehead
Glasgow
Prospect (Just outside of Louisville)

You don't sound elitist but just downright snobby IMO. Some people move to Kentucky for the "rural" surroundings and even for the rednecks...lol.

Again, Berea, Kentucky fits your wishes. Good public schools with lively, friendly, funny and intelligent teens who are far from typical pop culturistas, close families, friendly churches of various denominations, excellent college with cultural activities open to the public sans charge, very attractive small tourist town focussed on traditional music and dance, arts, crafts, and antiques, wooded mountain foothills with hiking trails five minutes outside of town, larger Richmond twelve miles up I-75 and larger-still-Lexington thirty-five miles north.
A good bakery would appeal to both tourists and locals. There are some good small coffeehouses, pizza shops, sandwich shops, homestyle restaurants, chain restaurants and of course famous Boone Tavern in Berea, but I am not aware of a good bakery (I could be mistaken). You'd have your niche, if you located right (Old Town, Chestnut Street, The Square...).
Danville, Ky is nice, too - but the bakery niche is already very well filled, with Burke's Bakery on Main Street - well-established, with a loyal clientele and outstanding baked goods. I wouldn't want to try to be their rival!

There is nothing wrong with rural OR rednecks (heck, alot of East enders consider ME redneck lol)
