My wife and I are soon moving out to the country in our first step toward homesteading. It's only an acre, but, it's a start. We're hoping to find some other folks in the area. Anybody's found a co-op yet?

We're very close......(in Orangeville). We just moved to our 5 acres this summer and are in the process of getting our little homestead going. Welcome to the country!!

I'm northeast of Battle Creek. My sister lives in Hastings. Don't know of a co-op, but I'm interested, too. Let me know what you find out! Any time you want to chat, you can e-mail direct. Better put countryside in the subject, I'm rather reckless with the delete option!

Good luck!
