For those of you interested in gardening/food production...

Yes, we've looked into aquaponics. I like the concept, but the complexity of that setup is probably a little beyond us at this point. We're weighing sustainable gardening in today's world where supplies are readily available vs. gardening to sustain us when supplies may not be available for sale.

We really need the land/house set up before we move on anything on a bigger scale. I just moved here to GA and we're leasing for now to become familiar with the area. We're looking to buy, but finding 5-10 acres at a reasonable price within commuting distance to the N. Atlanta area is slow going. No rush at this point as we continue to build our local network of preppers, find a permanent church home, etc.

Where you looking Chris? Cherokee County is a bit overpriced especially in this market.

Outlander - anywhere North or NW of Atlanta, no more than a 2 hour drive. So TN, SC are options too. But we have much to learn about the area, and linking up with like minded people is our main goal before buying real estate. If we have to buy slightly overpriced land to be close to good neighbors or part of a good community, so be it.

The biggest challenge seems to be locating somewhat level land with a viable clean water source (spring, adequately producing well).
