I enjoyed this article:

They're trying to divine why these people on this island live for so long, and basically it comes down to they're a community of homesteaders, grow their own healthy food, stay active by caring for the garden, etc. They don't call it that, homesteading, but that is basically what it is.
Loved the article! Having been to a fairly remote Greek island of Santorini several times, I can easily believe it.
Sounds like how I'll retire someday. I've always enjoyed manual labor... the only reason I'm not pursuing it as a career is the money. Once that's all in order, I'm going to have to invest in a good shovel and pair of leather gloves. Ah... the romantic image of a small subsistence farm.
Other good reading involve Helen and Scott Nearing.......stories told that Scott decided to die at 100 years old....saying that he had used his time.....Stopped eating abd died.
Required reading for the "back to the landers" '60, '70 '80s

Excellent reading, I own it. Talk about independent.Quote:
