Re: [AlpacaTalk] Best place for an Alpaca Farm?

Hi Dave,
 
You'll probably get lots of input on this question, but let me suggest that there are several books to help, too.  check out Amazon's list of such books at http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=best+small+towns&x=18&y=16
 
I've read several and they give you some very good ways of assessing without traveling everwhere. 
 
Best wishes,
Ellie

We currently live in Mass. and have lived in New England our whole lives. But,
our youngest son will be graduating from high school in a couple of years and
we've begun thinking about where our empty-nester years should be.

One goal is to find a place that is the most temperate. I've never really
liked the hot weather and now I'm liking the cold weather less and less. I
had it in my mind that the Tennessee mountains seem to fit the bill as far as
having moderate temps. I was looking at farms for sale in eastern Tennessee and
didn't see any real 'bargains' even in today's market. I looked
in the western part of the state and took note of several listings that mention
storm cellars and safe rooms. Maybe the Kentucky mountains would also be a good
place to have an alpaca farm? How about other places?

I know everyone has their own bias on the 'best place to live'. But,
on this Thanksgiving weekend, what are your views on this?

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
