New Zealand

I'm guessing it's unlikely, but anybody else from this tiny little country?

I live with my partner and our four kids in Auckland (at the top of New Zealand). Getting ready to make the move to what we hope will be a completely self-sufficient farm.

Thanks
We're just waiting for a couple more families to join us before we go ahead. See we've found the land that we want (we were determined to have a river or stream through the property) and we have found quite a few sections that meet our needs. We have four families in our group so far but think a couple more would make things easier. We have worked out we will be able to have 2 horses, cows, sheep, 2 goats, and lots of chickens. Plus bees, our garden and our fruit trees. The only downside is that we will have to stay in our caravans while building houses but i think we're ready for that. Been slowly getting ready by converting to solar power and having small vege gardens at our homes etc, but its gonna be a big change when we make the move.

I think that sounds like quite the adventure. A planned self sufficient community!!! It is wise to be well preapared and to have plenty of people to make positive contributions.

Welcome! When our government annoys us, we always joke that we're going to move to NZ! It seems like a beautiful place.
