Publisher's Synopsis
The no-nonsense guide for country dreamers. Though moving to the country takes determination, every ex-urbanite says it was the best decision they ever made. The same rings true for Alissa Hessler, who relocated from Seattle to rural Maine years ago has never looked back. In this book she uses her wit, charm and experience to help you chart a path to successful country living. 'Ditch the City and Go Country' covers the ins and outs of how to find a home, how to keep your current job remotely or where to look for a new one, how to own livestock and prepare for disasters, how to make a smooth transition and become a part of your new community and how to embrace the seasons. With this guide, you'll be able to stop day dreaming and finally live the life you've always wanted in the country.
