I will probably continue to use the internet so I will have to look more into how that works out in more remote areas.

Congrats and best of luck. I hope you find happiness.
I can recommend a book called
"Making it home" by Lars Nordstrom. He's a guy who tried to grow wine grapes and be mostly self-sufficient in Clackamas County. I imagine his experience might be useful to draw upon. There are a lot of small things that can go wrong and so much satisfaction from actually doing it. It's a good book that I've read a couple of times.
