    Our Introduction:

    My wife and I are new to the group. I have worked hard to move my organic herb farm (and home of the FlorAlive® flower essences) to complete self-sufficiency. We have solar and hydro turbine power and magnificent water resources, gravity feed irrigation, and lots more. We grew dry land rice last year and plan better production this year. It is my intention to be able to produce bluegill or yellow perch in aquaculture. I must learn about that.

    Having my first child at age 68 (3 1/2 years ago) leads me to realize how very important the old adage is: “It takes a village to raise a child.” We are praying for the right young farmer (and family) to show up to provide the essential work required to keep up this land, and to benefit from use of all we have developed. We hope that the Freesteading community will help us get the word out so that a special McGyver-like fellow shows up. (We lost our magnificent man and wife team of fourteen years as they had to join family out of state.)

    When the right people are found, we look forward to a non-hippy intentional community of very focused and fun people!
