Maybe since you were a child, you have had a dream of living in the country. Somehow, you wound up living in the suburbs or the city.
Still – you have not let go of the dream; the dream has not let go of you
Paul Ward is here to help you figure out how to make your dream of living in the country come true by overcoming obstacles and building creative solutions!
He analyzes your hypothetical situation below. Please keep reading!
Why You Want To Live In The Country:
- The air quality is better.
- You love the magic of nature – the stars, the wild life, the crickets at night.
- You want to grow your own food.
- You want more animals of your own.
- You want to host friends and family in the country.
Some Obstacles You May Experience To Living In The Country:
- Spouse is an urbanite or a suburbanite – a common situation.
- Distance to work – Is it practical?
- Starbucks addiction (Yes, this is a real thing.)
- Kids will be without friends.
- Grocery store at a distance – where is it anyway?
Solution: Rent A Property Temporarily!
In Ventura County there are always properties for rent. Though landlords want to rent to people who plan to stay, you can approach the landlord with a proposal. You can offer them more money per month for 6 months. If the rent is $3,000, you offer $3, 200.
Rather than paying for a year’s lease, you may offer them all the money for 6 months up front or increase the security deposit so that they can use it to allay expenses after you leave.
After living in your country house for 3 months or so, your spouse may be able to wrap their mind around a longer or permanent stay.
Paul has great tips for overcoming obstacles to living your dream – Many properties in Ventura County are 3-5 minutes from town!
Listen to his show today for fixes for grocery store worries, Starbucks addiction, your kids and their friends, and more!

Ventura County 4H Scholarships for 2019 - An aspect of agriculture and farming that benefits students.
Paul Ward Introduces his New Show – Farm Talk!
Paul tells us about all the great plans he has for Farm Talk, and let’s us know what fun shows he has in store. Whether he’s interviewing people in the farming industry, folks who take care of a few acres, or farmer’s market participants, there are lots of great shows ahead.
On this week’s show, Paul talks about a scholarship he has started, involving the agriculture industry. For several years Paul has received correspondence from local middle school and high school students that are involved in 4-H. Paul makes what is called an “add-on contribution” towards their college fund. Add-on contributions are a great way to support the 4-H participants, and help offset the cost of raising the animal.
If you’re a 4-H student, or know a 4-H student, who would be interested an add-on scholarship, contact Paul at (805) 479-5004 to learn!
