Hey everyone, my partner, 2 young kids, and dog have been exploring possibilities for a home for the last 2 years. We have explored Portugal, an eco village in Colorado and North Carolina, and we also helped start an intentional community in East Tennessee.

I’m really passionate about permaculture, foraging, natural building, medicinal plants, learning, and building community. I’ve practiced hundreds of hours on a skid steer, operating it with 6 different attachments.

I’ve cleared roads, welded and constructed a saw mill, tended to chickens and goats, designed and created a food forest, terrace gardening, digging out the foundation of a Cobb house and lots of other stuff in the last couple years. I had a career in the electrical field for 6 years before I started my career in the health and fitness industry for the last decade.

I took on a project to help a couple turn their 100 acres into a intentional community with 8 homesites and community areas.

My wife has been tending to our children and is passionate about supporting mothers and children. She freebirthed our second son amongst our journey and is also learning medicinal herbs and cooking what we forage. She currently has a full time remote position for a health coaching company that has allowed us to explore different options.

What we are looking for are 2-3 other families who are interested in purchasing land together and who value natural building, community living, self-sustainability, and in creating a legacy through cultivating traditional skills. We’re looking for families that also have children in order to create an ecosystem of learning about what really matters instead of the indoctrination offered through most schooling systems.

The kind of property we are looking for would include a spring fed creek, mature forests, staying off-grid and about 20 acres to share amongst the community. We are currently in the Chattanooga area and looking to stay within an hour.

If you resonate, we’d love to meet you and feel free to email me at brandonbrown9113@gmail.com

Hi Brandon, I don't know if this is helpful to you but I thought to reply in case it is. I had previously posted in this forum to find community or a work trade and a man starting a community in the Chattanooga area responded. I have never visited this community so I cannot vouch for it. But here is a link in case you're interested.

Wishing you and your family the very best in your journey to create community!
