Hello everyone! We are a same sex couple with a dog looking to go rural. In search of an individual or couple with land to share in exchange for labor.

I myself am yearning to get my hands dirty with permaculture, gardening (veggies, medicinals, fibers/cordage, dye plants), wildcrafting, foraging, homesteading and farmers markets, etc.  My partner is skilled in electric and construction and is looking to learn wood and leather work. Our dog is 7 years old and a pit terrier/ husky mix. She loves to explore and play and admire outside.

We are reaching out because there is little hope we will find a way towards a life we want.  A more meaningful and paced existence that revolves around nature. It would be a dream to have small amount of property and create a spot of self sustained space for being. Not a chance we will be able to afford such a thing before going homeless due to rising rent costs.

Of course any questions asked we will gladly answer as this is a major ask and being on the same page is crucial. We very much appreciate anyone who considers, cheers!

Hi Shawn :)
Have you checked out Skills to Inherit Property ? Even doing a few Badge Bits (BBs) can help you and your partner build a resume you can use to show others that you have skills that might be helpful. ;)

Greetings Shawn,

If you and your partner are still searching for an opportunity I may have something of interest to you provided you are interested in re-locating.

Please reply by email if interested in finding out about my offer and situation.

Thank you,
Sandy
