I agree, my parents bought a small farm when I was in elementary school and it was a pretty lonely existences. In part because of the physical isolation and part because my parents became increasingly fearful of the outside world as it pertained to me. I wasn’t allowed to go places or do things much outside of school and it was pretty terrible. So consider your family. The other thing to consider is what type of life you are really signing up for. It sounds romantic, but it isn’t all it is cracked up to be. You can live in a rural area and have a small garden without going full homestead lifestyle.
