I've stored each one as an individual file. In this folder you can see a whole bunch of different notes. I put it here in my Documents folder under iCloud Drive. If you want them to be more like the Notes App you can create a folder called Notes. You could put individual text files in folders with other files for that project or however you like to organize. So if you're going to use TextEdit for notes you can store the notes anyway you want. Plus it is easy to restore lost notes with Time Machine. TextEdit actually works a lot like Notes except that you actually see each individual note as a file and you can easily revert to an older version. But you could also just use TextEdit on your Mac. Now you could use something complex for that like Pages or Microsoft Word. But you can certainly use an app to store individual documents, each one being a note. You can't see the individual notes as files. The Notes App stores everything in kind of a container with a library of notes in it. But if you want to store information in Notes you're not restricted to just the Notes App. This makes it a poor choice to store critical information. You can't go back to an earlier version and you can't recover a deleted note. For instance, it's easy to accidentally delete something from a note or a whole note itself and not have anyway to recover it.
