/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>161874
I'm from the rural Prince William Sound area. The winds are too high where I am to accommodate much agriculture. The best spots are in the Mat-Su valley and the Copper River Basin on the road to McCarthy, though the Mat-Su is more temperate and more developed. Palmer is the most established farm town.

The Basin is mostly sparsely inhabited primitive homesteads with a lot of characters. The Kenai Peninsula might be good too, I don't have much experience with that area.

Delta Junction has a dairy, but I wouldn't recommend living there.

Generally, the more rural you get, the more likely your neighbors are on the run from the law and/or are trying to build a nuclear reactor in their backyard. This actually happened outside Fairbanks.

I am not really keen on land prices (houses, building materials, and utilities are expensive as fuck), though the state has regular surplus land sales and you can probably get a load of acreage for much less than any region in the lower 48 that has a reputation for agricultiure.
