I have a delightful permaculture homestead but there isn't enough energy in the day to get everything done. There's a big greenhouse, orchard, food forest, garden, chickens, old barn, 100's of acres of woods to play in and a lake across the street. I'm 4 miles from a city of 8,000 people with all the amenities and work opportunities one could want. This isn't out in the boonies but it is a long drive from a big city.

I'm looking for a person, a couple or a family to come and participate on this land.  I imagine options ranging from tent space and outdoor facilities to living in the house in the guest bedroom.  We could turn the syrup shack into a summer cabin since it already has power, refrigeration and a stove. If you have a mobile tiny house, that could work too.  I'd want some labor on the land in exchange. Tending the garden is a big need. Projects are endless but I feel I can handle them easier than the weeds in the garden. Yes, a weed is just a plant out of place, but there are millions out of place.

Summers here are warm and sometimes humid. It's rarely 90F. I grumble when it's over 80 and go swim in the lake. I'm not sure about a year round landshare but we could maybe figure that out.
 
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It was a tiny ad.
