35 year old female artist, looking for kind land owners to lease a plot in upstate NY

Hi there,

I'm Lindsay, a visual artist, currently based in Arizona - I just returned back to the States after 5 1/2 years of living and traveling internationally, and I'm ready for a longer term season of nesting in one place.  I'm looking to relocate to NY state, and searching for someone who has extra land they wouldn't mind leasing to me.  Just enough for a garden, maybe a few animals (hopefully sheep!), and a tiny home.  Eventually I would love to connect to a community and perhaps host art workshops or work with children with disabilities, but for now I'd just like to start with something small and simple to bring joy into my everyday life.  I'm quiet, respectful, curious, mindful, and playful.  Open to learning /sharing.  I'll be visiting Maine and NY during the first few weeks of September and would love to meet or visit some potential places at that time if possible!  Please send me a message if this sparks something.

Hello Lindsay,

I host the group Permaculture of Greater Buffalo.  I may be able to contact a connection or two to help you, will send PM.  The next big Permaculture gathering is the Finger Lakes Permaculture Institute yearly permaculture weekend farm tour.

August 23rd to 25th, 2019.  All weekend will be tour of Permaculture farms around the fingerlakes region.

The next gather I will be organizing will be the 3rd Saturday of September.

Lindsay, if you are still traveling and are interested in the southern hills area of Central New York,  my family and I have a 60 acre forest farm in Fabius that is in need of extra hands and creative input.  We currently do not live at the farm.  There are a few options for housing and plenty of space to do your own thing, if you're interested.  Best of luck.  Jon
