Will we be able to sell enough fruit to keep up a
mortgage? That is the question. We have rural water, but I have
well drilling equipment, so could probably drill one. We use LP for
heat, but have a fireplace and 35 acres of woods. Electricity may be
a problem, but I think we could learn to live without it. You asked
what others would do, and this is part of what we may be required to
do.
Thanks William..
With your well drilling equipment, drilling wells might pay the mortgage, as might selling some firewood to folks who are cold. I also have that option, selling a bit of wood, that is.
With the exception of pumping water from the well, I think I would do without electricity, too. The well is just too deep for a hand pump.
