    I'm from Minnesota, and I have to tell you that mountain winters have their own special flavor. Sometimes it snows gigantic clots of wet stuff in what would be considered summer months. You may want to spend a little time checking the area out before buying; winters and cutting off power for some time are but one small part. Snow doesn't tend to stick around for long here- that giant solar snowplow takes care of those issues so long as the front yard faces south. The state also tends to go up in flames in the summertime. When you're checking areas out, talk with locals and find out what the restrictions of the counties are as far as animals, shooting, and the weather.

    In some places having certain animals can qualify you as agricultural land and reduce your taxes. Or so I hear.

    Last time i checked alapacas offered some great tax advantages.

    Bees can reduce it as well.

    But you can also buy land and sell it to a land conservatory minus a carved out portion for the home.

    Alpacas were exactly the examples someone was telling me.

    Yeah, bee Apiaries are popular here in Florida for an Ag exemption. Given the citrus production down here, they are somewhat of a necessity. I don't know about Alpaca. What do they taste like? You can't say 'chicken'. Everything doesn't"t taste like chicken.

    Alpacas are raised for their fleece, I believe. In Peru they also use them for meat. They're also very chill. Llamas are grade A assholes. The difference is probably best characterized as sheep vs goats.

    If you have alapacas, llamas are good watch dogs for them.
