Hills are good for building a cheese cave! Especially if you get a couple of goats. Goat cheese is awesome. Dig a root cellar deep enough for a storm shelter, It's not that much more work. Trade off work for other favours to get help with your building needs. There ways to work within a budget. Is there any type of government grant that would allow you to drill well on the property?
That is exactly what im planning. I love making aged cheese and cured meats!
