Hey, if there's anyone on this thread who might be able and willing to respond...I would appreciate it! I am from Colorado and moved to Florida for a disastrous year and a half including everything in the house breaking(most major systems and all appliances), my dad dying, and then being hit hard by hurricane Ian.
I then moved from FL to Tennessee to be near my big brother, and buy a farm and start practicing permaculture. My brother very sadly went off the rails with PTSD and I've only seen him 2x in the last year, I broke my leg, and my uncle who I moved here with to farm developed health problems and left after 9 months. I have met more two faced people out here in TN who say "just let us know how we can help" who either don't mean it, want to draw you into longstanding feudal familial battles, or who then want to be paid in s*xual favors. The people here in the small community we're in, for all of their talk of being "good" & friendly, just seem about the furthest from that you can get.
I'd like to get the inside story on the people and permaculture in AR. My daughter and I lived there for a few months in 2019 and loved it! We were in Prairie Grove outside of Fayetteville. Are there some decent communities of folks in permaculture that are helpful and there for each other? We don't just want to take, we would like to contribute and be in community with good folks. Maybe the third time will be the charm? Thanks in advance!
