My family (minus my daughter, who will live in my house in St. Pete) is moving from Florida to live on a 60-acre plot of farmland in Michigan. The land belongs to my aunt who, long story short, can&#8217;t take care of it anymore, so we&#8217;re going to move up there and make a homestead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will leave this summer, and I\u2019ll still finish my degree online at FSU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mind you, I\u2019ve never lived outside of a city, and I have no idea how to farm anything, but I have faith that we will figure things out as we go.
