I think I'm going to move to a small town, build a wood fired oven and sell bread. No electricity, no electronics.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post of your own.

I do live in a small town and we make our own bread and tortillas. I'm also lactose intolerant so I learned how to make my own dairy free milk with almonds or cashews. There's definitely small town problems but I love that I'm close to literally millions of acres of national forest and several rivers.
