We have a farm started its 14 acres. There are 5 people here... We need someone that has strong back and can build things... We have equipment sawmill, tractor, farm truck, 4 wheeler, and tractor equipment.. We have 29 chickens in coops, 2 cows, some dogs and cats.. We have plans to get ducks, turkey,goats pigs and rabbits.. We have some raised beds and a row garden. Plans to put in a hugelkultur garden and forest garden.. We are fencing in some of the back yard and sawmill right now but plan to have rotatable pasture fence started in spring..  We plan to have some produce to sell this year along with filling the freezers to feed us next winter.. I live in a camper and so does another lady and her son.. Mom and brother live in the house.. There is a way to put another camper here or build a cabin to live in.. We need someone 15+ hours a week to exchange for meals and room and board... Send me a message if you think you want to join our intentional community. We want to feed the farm family good real food and then in few years feed a CSA program. We want to have a 4h program for town kids to touch farm animals and grow plants..  We got big dreams just not enough hands to get it done... Ok well I've rambled enough..
Thanks for reading
Sheri

Hello Sheri, my name is Amy. I have a 16 yr old son, 19 laying hens, 1 dog and a mouser cat. Yes she eats the shrews and mice from yard and barn. I have had my first real garden last year. Grew up in the country but only lived the farm life for over a year and fell in love with the chickens geese and cows. The geese were eaten by golden eagles and my current has stated he's keeping the cows and I can take my chickens and dog and cat. I'm good at growing and very passionate about self sustainability and cohabiting with nature. I don't like to drink because the older I get the worse the hangover lol I'm 41 but still like to stay busy especially outside. Not below freezing so much though lol I mind my business and stay out of trouble and dream of the community life with holistic food and medicine.  I am currently self teaching holistic medicine as well. Anything I missed?

I'm from that area originally and can say you've got a great place to have a farm. I'm not there right now, so I can't support in person. I'm going to try to figure out this messaging thing though and shoot you a separate message though with some additional info you might find helpful. Good luck! There are a lot of good, hardworking folks around you with strong backs. Recommend asking locally as well if you haven't already.
