    I just bought land on PEI to start a homestead. Currently living in an RV.
    There’s not a day that goes by that I’m not astonished by the beauty of this place, and the hospitality of the locals.
    Food prices here are all jacked up though! Crazy how expensive it is.

    Hey, I'm on 40 acres on PEI. We have forest, the head of a brook, pastures and loads of paddocks for horses. We have a large stable and a log lodge home. Most everything grows in the gardens. Snow isn't all that bad. Our record was 75 inches in 2015. Last winter, we had so little snow it became a pain. You have pointed out the Bonshaw hills.

    North of Charlottetown in Covehead I lived for few years in a log cabin. We had an oil stove that kept us warm. The well drilled was inexpensive. I would swim in Covehead Bay diving for oysters and out on the fishing boats reeling in cod and mackerel. In the winters there was too much snow and it would shut down everything. Summers are muggy and bugs can be bad. We had a garden and the soil was decent. Erosion is high so I wouldn't build too close to waterfronts. Herbicides, fungicides and pesticides are used heavily in areas and I recall many dead rivers from runoff, children being sent to hospitals from poisoning after spraying, aggressive cancers in younger folk. One garlic farmer near Summerside told me the bee populations are suffering and sprays are to blame.

    The bridge also costs $60 to cross. You can get on for free but you have to pay to leave the island. And the ferry is ridiculously high priced.

    Another Island resident here. As someone who knew what was coming, i thought the island would be shielded from the global game. Covid sadly proved we arevery vulnerable.
    Immigration here is the biggest concern if stuff goes sideways. We've got an Asian cult with very deep pockets, and an East Indian population of fighting age males that are of concern.

    I moved from Ontario to pei 10 years ago, farming is very tough here, no auctions, small population, supplies are hard to come by, its mosy big scale potatoe farming here and they spray about 15 times a year and use huge amounts of fertilizer is used that destroys the soul health, in hindsight i wish i had of moved to nova scotia or new brunswick, we also have no gravel pits, no hardwood and the wind is hard on gardening.

    Some of the information you are giving is 100 % correct , However some is not correct -Charlottetown has everything that Moncton has even being a smaller town. If you are planning on Homesteading in PEI you wouldn't go to Charlottetown very often because all the smaller places has the amenities for homesteading .

    We do have small cities that do not allow for any livestock but outside of those areas you are good. Climate change has made the winters milder and the summers hotter. We also have limitation on how much land people can buy if they are not living here already. I don't commute off Island but a lot of medical things do require a trip off Island. We have tons of small saw mills, co-ops, and stores that supply more than you think. We also have some of the highest growth of population since 2020 in Canada. Some of your info is very outdated.

      No I haven't. My thinking on that is that you don't need a curriculum on a homestead. The homestead is the curriculum.

      They are pretty intent on figuring out if you’re “from here, or away”. If you were born on the island, left there, and then returned, you’re fine. If you can’t claim any island roots, you’re an outsider. They’re nice to your face, but there is definitely a two tiered system. Hire an electrician, plumber, or other trades person, and figure out if you were charged the “from here” price, or the “from away” price.
