I'm a long way off from being able to start a homestead, but I love reading about what others are doing. I hope to someday build a little house in the woods. I am really drawn to earthen homes and other alternatives, like yurts.

Hi Nella,
Welcome to Permies!

I must admit, when I first read your title with my its-late-in-the-afternoon-for-my-timezone eyes... I thought it said Greetings from Oregano... Haha :)

Greetings from someone else in Oregon, I just joined, and it seems like a great place to learn.

I do Celtic, fantasy, folk and shanty singing at Renaissance faires, fantasy festivals, pirate campouts, and other events in OR and WA, USA.

Hi, all! Another Oregonian joining on. Figured I may as well throw my hello in here rather than starting a new thread. Besides, it makes it easier to find people in the same region!

Another "we can't afford to homestead but we're doing the best we can" aka efficient suffiency living is a way of life by necessity as much as choice. Some day we'd like to have our own property but right now we're stuck renting if we want to stay in our home state.

Welcome Rose, myself and my husband rent too, all I've got right now is a patio and container gardening, but its a place to begin.  Eventually we can hopefully buy in the latter future, maybe a couple of years?  We will be moving in summertime, so hopefully I'll be able to get a ... bigger patio?  We'll see, we're on the interest list for a cohousing community, we hope a rental there will come available, thus giving me more scope for gardening and finally getting to try intentional community.  My husband's career shift, after 6 months of classes starting in Jan., hopefully will equip us to afford what will no doubt be high rent there, or in some other local intentional community as yet undiscovered.  But if that doesn't work out, than a slightly bigger patio it will be.  

I hope your rental situation is working for you, even if it isn't perfect.

Howdy,

I'm down here in Southern Oregon, the Banana belt. I can "see" California from my front yard. I have been here, where I live for 45 years and off the grid also. PGE wanted more than the price of the property to bring power up here, so have home built, DIY, hippie homestead on 40 steep mtn. acres.

Permies is the most friendliest site and I visit on a regular basis. I have a lot of post here so I won't fill you in. I am 72 and reclusive hermit type, BUT I do get out and play music with friends. This site ties me in with like minded folks, so I don't have to move to be more social.

40 acres, steep mtn. property, 4x4 3/4 mile driveway, 40+ inches of snow the last 3 years, year round stream thru property(micro hydro elec and drinking water), borders BLM and USFS(100,000 acres above me).

Welcome to "OUR internet Neighborhood". Blessings in the New Year. "May all Beings Be Happy"

peace,rc
