I really appreciate your journey and commitment, Dede. It sounds like you've made it work.
I'd only add that if you don't have a homeopath in driving distance, you can still work with one by telephone/email and ask an honest local vet if he/she would be willing to work as needed when diagnostic needs arise or perhaps emergencies. Most, if at all open minded and approached with an offer to be part of your health care team, would say yes. It'll take a bit of interviewing to find the right one, but they are out there.
Just be real up front: "We won't be vaccinating or buying food from you, but would you be willing to do XYZ for us if needed?"
