Hey all, we have 20 acres between Calgary and Red
Deer that has been for sale for 2 years, it is the
permaculture possible site. It has a creek running down the middle, a small wooded area (Manitoba maple), 1/4 acre saskatoons, 20 x 30
greenhouse and about 15 acres of pasture. The possibilities are many for a
permaculture person but Realtors say it's too much
land, people don't want to work on the land (or even garden) etc. Swales could be put in above the creek and plantings above the creek, in the past it has been home to a few
cattle, pigs,
chickens, horses, it has great
solar exposure for
energy projects, many possiblities that realors don't see or feel as selling points. We unwisely bought (the bank bought) 20 acres in BC before we sold , evergreen forest, side of mountain to build
straw bale house and be closer to family. After 2 years we are really frustrated.
Does anyone know how we can bring awareness of our "possibilities property" to the
permaculture community, any ideas on getting the word out to people who see value in a place like this ?
Any and all ideas welcome.
