re: "I wonder if those delicious NJ peaches would grow up there. "

I don't know about NJ peaches, but I hear peaches will grow there. Apples too. In fact, I've got apple trees already on both properties. 

re: "A cow a year means a small herd, with the breeding pair to produce the offspring for slaughter."

A cow a year means I buy a calf every spring and slaughter a cow every fall. Because of the need to store food, it's hard to keep cows through the winter. 

re: "Then there's pumpkins and melons and squash. "

They do grow those. In fact, there's a pumpkin festival each year that might be the largest in the country. 

re: "Berries do well. "

Yep. I know people with raspberries, and I've found blueberries growing wild amidst the grass of the 20 acre field.  

re: "Are you going to make clothes from the wool? "

I think so. I will give them to my wife as Christmas presents. 

re: "Surmountable issues, but stuff to be addressed. I was just concerned that you realize the financial implications so you don't run short."

I think I'm good in that respect. I will have some big cash outlays for the next three years, but thereafter I will have more money coming in than going out. Then, down the road a bit, I might even get money from Social Security.

And, my goal all along is to greatly reduce my spending. I should be able to cut way back - with the chief thing that's not under my control being property taxes.
