The article says the average age of residents is 65, so maybe it’s not a great place to raise kids.
About 15 years ago, I tried to get my husband to move to Missouri to my father’s farm. “The kids could grow their own food! We could raise goats!” But he wanted to living in the 20th century ...
My ex and the kids called my place the Little House on the Prairie.
we bought some ones “ father’s farm “ in Missouri about the same time you wanted to go. we raise meat goats ( suggest grass feed beef better deal ) and were city folks...and I just checked all toliets flush just fine and our two water wells working great hehehe....thanks for not moving
