family of four- seeking other families for offgrid community

I cannot find the forum topic for 'matchmaking.'
I am a family of four- seeking 1, 2 or 3 other families for offgrid community on my 9 acres.  
I have the land and need the brawn and conscientious community.
Where can we post for matchmaking?  

James, welcome to permies!

I placed your post in our forum: intentional community

If you let us know what part of the world you live in your thread can be placed in our regional forum.

Best wishes!

I also added you thread to the Land Shares forum. I hope that helps!

I am definitely interested, as I’ve been off grid living for over a year, currently living in my van with my dog. I have been searching for an intentional community to join, other kindred spirits and conscious being, to grow/tend the land with, and grow as a community/family. I am a hard worker, open to new things who has been daydreaming about a better life for this world. I am trying to be that change. I am currently in TN but willing to travel to the right location (keeping weather in mind cuz if van dwelling) Thank you.

Hi James! Your idea is very similar to what my husband and I are looking for for our family. I'm wondering if this vision has come together for you? Do you have any suggestions for other families hoping to cluster together in off grid communities?

Hi Mica. Where is your family located? I am trying to figure this conundrum out for our family. We bought raw land last year and have been developing it for a homestead, but I am so wishing that we had gone in on this project with other families who wanted to be supportive of one another. I know there are complications when doing this sort of thing with multiple families, but it seems worth it to figure it out.

Where? Where are your places? We are a family of three with a three year old and a camper. We are determined to sell our land in the mountains and move further south. My husband is a blacksmith artist. Im a permie and we just need some land with utilities and a workshop, and ideally a community

Hi Sarah Lynn.

We bought six acres in Floyd county, Virginia. It is a beautiful place but we don't have any friendly neighbors at this point and I now wish I had found the people first rather than the land first. My husband is a woodworker but doesn't have a shop or anything here yet.

Do you know how far south you are looking to go?

Hi folks,
Jumping on this thread as I am looking specifically for families with children and/or couples intending to have children and who want to raise them in a permaculture way. To me, this is pretty much the whole reason for intentional community.  It's all about the children and creating a place for future generations.  Although I am a mom, my son is 22 and on his own adventure. I bought a beautiful 53 acre mountainside with abundant woods, pasture, 70 apple trees, 3 springs, a swimming hole, an off grid log cabin with gravity fed spring water, no zoning and many like minded neighbors in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, with the intention of building a community/learning and retreat center based on permaculture and practical spirituality. I specifically looked for a place that has global warming resilience and plenty of water. I would like to present an opportunity for families who have permaculture skills to come build to own your own little piece of the small eco village. I don't have enough funds to support anyone,  but if you have a way to support yourselves and a way to house yourselves, I would love to hear about you and your family and discuss possibilities.

Hello Eve.

I'd love to talk more with you about your vision for your property. I am mama of a family of five, seeking community with other families who want to raise children guided by ancestral knowledge and permaculture principles. My husband is a finish carpenter and I am jack of many food trades (butchery, baking, etc.) , certified health coach and am currently at home with our children. I am curious about practical spirituality, I like the way that sounds.

Hi Michelle,
We have been off grid homesteading on a property for 16 years and have recently bought another property with the idea of starting a pagan church and community.  You can see our listing at https://www.ic.org/directory/via-lactea-sanctuary/
We are really into grass based dairy cow agriculture, but also do veggies, fruit trees, nut trees, a few chickens.  The second property has some housing that could potentially be available.  We are in central NY state, so the weather can be cold and cloudy for long periods.  Let us know if you are interested.  jrdulle@gmail.com
thanks,
James
