Finding a New Way to Live My Life 1

Not sure where to post this thread, sorry for that. My girlfriend and I are seriously sick of working at a grocery store in Michigan and wasting our life away. Life has gotten really monotonous and boring and I need a big change in my life, I can feel it.
My dream lately has been to live somewhere west, on an organic farm. I have no idea how to go about making this change and I'm just reaching out to see if others have advice. There's just nothing left for us here and we need to move on somewhere else.

I've thought about doing this before, getting a nice patch of land and living off it, maybe starting a commune.

check out homesteading and permaculture, sustainable off-the grid living. there's lot's of things you can do - it's just about getting out there and doing them

Yea exactly, something like a commune. Future culture could be different if people actually start doing stuff like this on a bigger scale. Idk the way society is today makes me really uncomfortable.

I've looked into homesteading. I think the bigger issue is run into is finding a group of people to do it with. I feel like it'd have to be a group thing to be very successful ya dig?

i worked at a couple places back when i was younger. the last one turned into a permanent living situation, though not as a wwoofer. you can only work for room/board for so long before you do need money

The only issue with the bigger scale is that everyone needs to be on board with it, that's why communism hasn't worked. In my opinion.

I will look into that wwoofing thing, is it something that can be built into something more sustainable later in life? If you understand what I mean

Honestly a small group of people can have a big influence on the masses of its done right.
I just need to find a group of likeminded people for this, like I definitely need to move away from where I currently am.
