Aww...no Vermont? Beautiful landscape, plenty of rainfall, amazing food scene, farming traditions, cheap land. It's got it all! Sure, we have six months of winter, but you just need to invest in a good collection of sweaters and flannel.

Proud that my Missouri made your list. It's a great state for homeschooling, which you didn't mention. But you're right about the food desert aspect. I was kinda surprised Arkansas didn't make the list. I'm in Missouri and have been drawn to the Arkansas homestead channels. It's so nice and warm down there! Wherever you pick, I'm sure you'll have a great homestead!

*Even if I can't call you Neighbor, I can always call you Friend.* As cool as it would be to have you as a neighbor, in hopes that you move to my neck of the woods, in all honesty, it would be out of selfishness on my part. But where ever you decide to homestead will be just perfect. Congratulations to you and your future Homesteading dream. 👍🏼

Oh my goodness...I'm thinking you will end up close to us! I was born and raised in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in the New River Valley. I've traveled all over this country, during all seasons, and my heart has always brought me back to my gorgeous roots. Getting to experience all seasons , while also always having surprises, is a GIFT! From Artesians to Ecology to Environmentalism to Youth to Design & Technology and Entrepreneurship and much more...the vast variety and options is refreshing. I've also home schooled for over 25 years...paved and anchored homeschooling in the Montgomery County area, and coordinated large groups and hundreds of fieldtrips for multiple towns for years. Connection will be a sheer pleasure! Now...after curve balls and life challenges, we are back to homesteading! We are a beyond-organics, natural-prevention and healing homestead and homeschooling on a large farm in Riner, VA. Virginia has it all...from coast to coast...and more history and historical sites than any other state. You could spend a lifetime and still not see everything, literally. And Christian hearts...well, they are fabulous here ♡ what you saw of this great state was but a fraction of a wink...come on back...and be prepared to fall head over heals in love with Virginia!♡

It's interesting to hear you talk about what it is that drew you to each state. It's such a fun idea to just pick up and move to anywhere, and pick a place that is just perfectly suited to your needs! I'm too rooted where I am, I could never do that, lol. It is amazing to me all the super cheap and beautiful spots that you have to pick from.

Being surrounded by like minded people is a major plus. Homesteading and living the self sufficient life style is hard work and challenging at times. To be surrounded by others you can share your experiences with will help your family transition. It’s the one thing I didn’t give enough thought to. Also, food choice is a thing to consider. You won’t grow everything and being able to get those few items without traveling far and sharing with other homesteaders is important to keep in mind. Good thought process you guys!!! You make the homesteading community proud. Your compassion and whole hearted thought process is encouraging. Blessings and prayers on your continued journey. Great job!!!

I’ve had a sick baby sleeping on my chest for the last 8 hours. I used that time to watch most of your videos. :) North Carolina and Missouri are high on our list to move to next year. In 2010 my wife and I also sold everything to look for our forever home. We traveled as my wife worked as a travel nurse. We did that for 2 years. We had a blast. But we knew God was calling us to Japan so we sold our last car and moved to Japan and lived there for three years. That’s where our first son was born. We’ve been back in the states for three years and are almost ready to make that final move. I’m looking forward to seeing what state you choose and start your homestead.

Yes we have snow and it sucks but we have amazing summers and our waters are the best anywhere around. If your serious about growing food a greenhouse will be in your future no matter what state so that can fix some issues with year long gardening.

Now they have a 5 year old boy, another baby boy on the way, and Sam’s parents and sister have moved there. My sister misses Michigan because it’s home , but calls Oxford her second home as they love it there so much. Misses a lot of the Gulf Shore weather and tropical storms. Lots of woods, rolling hills and farmland. Only 45 minutes to Topeka for the nearest mall and other services. Wish you luck deciding! Can’t wait for the big reveal!

I am going to guess Missouri. I would think Michigan would have a shorter growing season. I also would think Mississippi would have very hot summers. But Virginia and North Carolina would be good picks also.

We love it here in Missouri, you are absolutely right about codes, taxes, and the lack of natural food choices. The thing I hated was the public school, our kids are grown now, so no issue. Love to hear which you choose. Robin Bitsnpieces.

I don't know how Colorado got snubbed, what with it's garishly dry air, potent altitude sickness, and occasional desert-like conditions throughout the growing season... I mean, it's heaven out here. Wishing you guys so much joy and love and success in the year to come!! Is it weird to have people love you that you don't even know?

You have picked some great states. Still hoping for Michigan. Great homeschooling community especially in west Mi, winters hsve been quiet the last couple of years, Great Lakes are amazing, and who doesn't want to be called a Michigander?!!

I think half the homesteaders I follow on YT are in MO. 😁. Southern MO is beautiful, I’m not surprised it’s on the list. I’ve spent a lot of time in MO, my family is from MO. When they came over from Germany, I’m 3rd generation American, they settled in MO. 🙃

I've lived in Virginia my entire life and couldn't imagine living anywhere else. I absolutely love Skyline drive and the western mountains. Gorgeous!!!

Good Morning, Ben and Meg, Michigan is beautiful but cold with a shorter growing season. Mississippi can be very hot and humid. Virginia is beautiful. I am partial to the Ozarks as we have vacationed there for many years, it is very beautiful and they have a long growing season, but I think from your remarks, North Carolina may be the best fit for your family. Wherever you land, I am sure will be perfect as you know what is best for your family. The announcement is coming soon and a new adventure begins. I have prayed for His guidance to help you make this very important decision and will continue to keep your family in my prayers as you begin your new homestead. Happy New Year, Best Regards, Francine

Mississippi is my home state. I now live in Eastern Tennessee but I have 40+ acres in Mississippi that I own and I'm itching to get back to Mississippi and start my small homestead. As I read the comments I saw growing season mentioned. Yes the longer growing season would be awesome and you could possibly grow year round.

I can personally vouch for the High Country of North Carolina. There's both a huge homeschooling and homesteading community here. Best wishes where ever you decide to call home.
