I'm 62 living in central Arkansas, I have 13 acres totally off grid. I have been working on this for about 6 years. In my mind I'm still 25 but my body thinks my mind is an idiot! Sometimes just an extra pair of hands would make things sooooo much easier.

At this age I'm not sure a "relationship" is in the cards, but it sure would be nice to find companionship.  Or even someone willing to be that extra set of hands.

I have tried to find others in my area where every once in a while we could do like work parties.  A small group that gets together to help each other with projects.

It is nice to know that I am not the only one who now struggles with tossing hay bales lol. Funny I could do it last year!

D Cali I can still toss regular hay bales but I think they're getting lighter for the same price

I can't toss round ones though!

Jason you missed the laughs! I pm'd so.wone before and hope I didn't give him a fright because I'm not gay I am a gal, but I adopted Ra for Rachel about 10 years ago: got sick of people correcting me and pronouncing my name Rrra-SHELL (to which I always silenced the reply :gesundheit!" )
Plus online I look for trucks and parts and don't tend to be taken so seriously as a gal but have mostly teamed up with mechanics most of my life and osmosis helps you find a 79 w100 full time 4x4 for $1300 usd with very little wrong with it, and get to the top of the seller's list because you happen to have doors and fenders he can have for free lol

I'm definitely a gal but a country gal, used to getting my hands dirty

BTW I am looking for someone older than me and I turn 60 in June

D Cali :
Lol I hope your bales aren't getting lighter! It was meant as a joke but true:

My farmer quit oat bales after they quit pigs when a pig hit $27 at the slaughterhouse. They don't give you a price until they put one through and fortunately he kept his others in the trailer and waited. He thought they means 127 which would have been low, and I'm talking cdn now, so no more piggies and no more good bales for $5 cdn.

I have found a new supplier nearby, ligjter bales, but seems $5 cdn is a darn good price!

... which is an accomplishment because most of the land is zoned forest and no agriculture allowed.

Meat pigeons aren't classified or regulated, which is what I have I large quantity! They prefer hay or straw but the boys will scavenge leaves, twigs, and steal fliers from each other!

I did without for 2 years I can tell ya: I got myself a round bale of road hay delivered and offered the going price for a good round bale but got it delivered for free mind you! I was smart enough to get it dropped where I was
starting a new compost windrow lol

We had a discussion earlier this winter on hay bale prices and I couldn't resist posting a pic demonstrating that in Iqaluit a 40 lb box of hay costs $100 cdn (so I think I won the prize for finding the most expensive hay lol) I am overwintering here in Iqaluit and there really are people with indoor rabbits and chickens here !

I hope I brightened up your day with my little story

...  Canada is attractive, but that's a lot of driving.  

So any Permies in New England game for a no - small talk, activity-based, no-pressure group meet up?  I am informed that there are no map features on this site but we could develop our own organically.  PM me to get it going.  Tell me your one? two? hour radius.  If you're not in my radius, maybe I can link you to someone elses.  No car?  Perhaps a train or carpool.  Cheers.



Joanne you are so funny I would love to meet you! (I am a straight female but value my friends)

I would be coming through the Canadian border which I would prefer to do alone, but could car pool anyone from the Ottawa or Montreal area and let them cross alone, then rdv, or, anyone near one of the borders on the US side. I think a meet up is a great idea but think we could use the forum and set up a post, say, the geriatric NE meet up LOL

Just a thought rather than you having to handle all the pm's but perhaps not, depending on how you organize (but I just had to say geriatric being I amuse myself to no end)

Obviously I can't arrange one because there aren't many people up my way which actually is currently Iqaluit Nunavut but I will be mostly back down in Quebec for the growing season, and on my own schedule.

Anyway I can come through from anywhere from Rochester to wherever the qc townships / VT crossing
I will probably be camping in the vehicle because I am cheap and used to roughing it and that is easier than going through the logistics of finding a place to stay

I have goats, got them to help me keep the brush down and they do a good job! Hey is basically a treat and to supplement during the winter. During 9-10 months of the year I don't keep hay around since there is more than enough for them to graze on. That's why it is such a surprise that the bales seem much heavier than the previous year. One of these days I need my mind and body to be on the same page.

I'm going to guess that most people who are serious about prepping or living off the land, and trying to survive whatever might be coming in the not so distant future, they often times have land, a dwelling, infrastructure, kids, friends, relatives, pets, jobs, equipment, stockpiles of supplies and whatever else already in place that ties them down to where they are and hinders or prevents them from ever moving anywhere else!  And so that seems to make sites like this rather futile!  I mean, I have a farm and store.  For me to go anywhere else, it would take another 5-10 years of hard work just to get things established in a new place to the level of what I already have here, PLUS it would now likely cost 5-10 times as much to do it!  Matter of fact, it would be really difficult to start over from scratch again somewhere!  Nobody is gettin any younger, and I can't really dig up 10 yr old fruit trees and move them 1,000 miles!  But then on top of that, do we even have another 5-10 years to play around with in trying to establish or get things in place somewhere before bad things hit the fan whereby we are going to need the things that we've been getting in place?  I doubt it!  I'm sure something will probably hit the fan in 2024, with it being an election year, if not by 2030 and whatever Agenda is on tap then!  

Well, so to go along with all that, this means that we also probably don't have the luxury of dating anyone for years on end, or who knows how long first, prior to joining together!  I mean, there probably needs to be a sense of urgency here, to get things done, because time is short and of the essence!  So somebody is probably gonna have to move, but to just jump right into things with someone, that can lead to even more trouble, or set you back even further, if it turns out you guessed wrong!  But to just stay single and alone, that doesn't work very well either, because it is likely going to take a village or not so small army working together to really get everything in place that'll be needed to survive.  So what's a person to do?!!  It's a heckuva conundrum!

I don't have all the answers, but if you look on my profile, you will see the post I made about being a Homesteader and the opportunity that I offer.  I have at least attempted to reduce or alleviate some of the bigger impediments to us accomplishing our biggest need, which is to unite and work together.  The first step being that we work together, and if that goes well, then maybe something romantic develops out of it at some point along the way, rather than there being pressure to forge romantic relations first before doing anything else.  I hope that makes sense?!  But then during our efforts to create infrastructure and supplies of things, if you should decide to leave, it wouldn't have to be empty handed, as you may be able to take a portion of the things that you helped to create along with you when you go!  In this way, you don't have to pack up everything you own and move it here, you can just come here, and dive in, and the rest can sort itself out one way or another as time and circumstance goes along.

Very well said Bryen, I have 35 years invested in my homestead and starting over would not be an option. Nor is jumping into a relationship too quickly.

Very true: working on a project together is an excellent way to get to know someone: living at the same place, who's the early riser, are they narcissistic  lol, or stoned all the time, more lol

Yes I value my friendships and although I am fast to adjust to changes, and company is nice, I  am happy alone as well as with company,  and seem to manage on my own just fine, although it's more fun to do things together, and I learn a lot more, which is part of the fun!

Touché 😀

Hello good humans, I see the last post in this thread was two weeks ago. Well, it used to take a couple weeks to get a letter, so all is not lost!
I've been on the planet for 59 years this time. I'm a single woman in Vermont! This state has more women than men and being single at this age here is a bit challenging I will say.
Part of my challenge, I will admit, is that I am content living on my own here. I've been single so long it just seems normal to me.
When I tell people my age, they are usually shocked and think I am much younger. I have no kids (except two cats). I bought an old 1890 brick house on a half acre a few years ago and have been renovating and planting here.
I love this property and house but am not attached to staying here. I had a vision of being off grid and I am certainly not off grid although I do live on the edge of town in a sort of green belt, so I have lots of space around me.
I thought, how cool there is a creek on the side of the property, but it wasn't so cool when it flooded last July! Jokes on me, buying a house in the flood plain but it's actually not that bad if one is ready for it, the basement can get a little wet but the rest of the house is wonderful.

Anyway! It's pretty crazy up here because every time I see a cool looking dude who looks a bit worn in a nice way, I think, oh he looks interesting but then here comes his wife and a bunch of kids.
It's like clockwork. Now when I see an interesting dude, I start looking around for his wife or partner.

I'm ok alone but it would be so fun to find someone handy who is into the same things I am and has a good sense of humor. I'm living a clean and sober life and am physically in great shape. I paint murals for a living.

I wont post a photo here in keeping with the norm because I don't see any of you other old farts putting up photos. I will though! I don't mind.

peace, Lopi

Lopi made me laugh!
I’m 64 and not looking. I’m pretty content with my own company mainly because I’m the only one that will put up with me! Even I am too much for myself at times. In the spirit of being different I’ll post a pick.
If someone is brave enough to steal it and use the good on them.

Hmmm it seems like just yesterday I was the youngest within most groups I associated with. Not sure how or when it happened but somehow I began being the oldest. I look at the ages of this thread and to my surprise it appears to have happened again I just turned 62, most days I don't feel 62 and in my mind I'm not 62, the body disagrees often the bales of hay do seem to be getting heavier is it bad in this case to hope for some shrinkflation? Lol . Anyway I have a bit more than 13 acres in central Arkansas and am totally off grid. Often it would be great to have just a second pair of hands.  When I step back I have accomplished allot on my little homestead but often those successes feel a bit hollow having someone to share those accomplishments with would be nice.

Hello!

Wannabe permie in SW Ohio. Would love to relocate but held by family ties. At a crossroads, working through the decision between striking out on my own and buying land and/or finding like-minded companions to join forces. Love and romance would be a delightful bonus!

Greetings to all on this thread.

Name is Kate, and I've been watching this thread on and off for some time, and have now decided to introduce myself:  Just turned 66 yrs, homesteader for 26 yrs on 32.5 acres with livestock.  Not totally off-grid but close, and have very little reliance on the outside world.

I am fortunate however to have one person, a locale who enjoys the place, loves the quiet and helps out on a regular basis, making the day to day easier, but it doesn't quite fill the hollow for companionship.  

I've had individuals over the years who wanted to learn permaculture, or get back to the land, etc., and more often than not they seemed to be running away from something, a place to hide out as it were.  In the end, those individuals never worked out, and there was always a mess to clean up, things to set right again.

So, I've accepted; this is it, I'm the "recluse" with goats and guardian dogs, living a quiet pastoral life with no drama, no chaos.

K

Hello Steven,

Yes! I am about a 45 minute drive from that area, on the northeast side of Cincinnati.

I am near the corner of I-75 and I-74.  while I live in the city I have a rooftop garden with a yard full of fruit trees.  I get 1/3 of my winter heat from solar heating.  This is as close to being off grid as I can afford to do so.  I wish you best of luck.

I am 60 with a small dog and just really looking for a homestead share with a like minded companion, or people.I grew up in the country and lived on a small farm where we raised our own chickens and pigs. My folks would always have a large garden and we had plenty of wild berries in the woods out back. I would enjoy learning the permaculture way of growing, and being around people who are truly awake.

I think teaming up with someone seems like a good option as I get older and start slowing down a little. Still in good shape and love running and hiking in the woods with my dogs. Good luck everyone!

Hi Anna if you go to your profile page there is an envelope and bell in the upper right corner. Click the envelope for messages. It took me a while to figure out messages also. Good luck.

With my land. I suspect most people on in this thread are the same. It's a big ask to expect me to sell the land I have poured my blood sweat and tears into for 16 years and move to be with someone I met on permits singles. How can I expect the same from anyone else?  Sure would be great to share my piece of paradise with someone. To split the chores and companionship and someone to share the trials and tribulations with would be wonderful.

For what's it's worth I'm a 53 year old swm in Eastern Ontario who raised grass fed beef on 50 acres.

Joel Buchannan, where in South Georgia are you located? I have retired and looking for Land or a partner or friend to share knowledge with.  I love rural living and camped for 2 years during the pandemic in rural Georgia.  I dont like crowds, going to the store for things that i can grow make or do without.  I have watched so many shows on homesteading etc and know the ups and downs.  Dont know that i want to be TOTALLY off grid but as little as possible.  Would love to can veggies and fruit, make pickled green beans and just pickles.  Go out and pick plums apples and peaches and make jellies and preserves.  Learn how to stich a quilt.  Make candles to use at night, and share cooking jokes and good conversation.  I am new to the site so this is my 1st posting.. i hope i did it correctly.  Theres so much i want to lean and want someone with me when i learn it. Hit me up i would love to hear from you.  Right now i am looking in the Washington Elberton area for land.
 
I have gone to look for myself. If I should return before I get back, keep me here with this tiny ad:
