I just wrote a little bio for the
Permie website and thought I might share it here too. I'm not much for chatting
online, but if you live near Asheville or near my family in upstate NY, perhaps we could get together in person and talk. It'd be great to meet like minded friends, not just romantic interests so please write if you're close and feel like hanging out.
I'm almost 50, heterosexual female and tend to be barefoot, unvaxed, trying to live a natural life. I have two dogs and love being around all animals; ominivore- but mostly
vegetarian and respectful of vegans; rarely drink alcohol anymore but will if it's delicious; rarely smoke but will if a friend grew it; and I have a pretty regular meditation and yoga practice, and teach yoga.
Currently living in Asheville, NC; but I'm hoping to relocate to upstate NY soon. I've taken some classes and done
volunteer work, but am not certified in
permaculture. I was a wildlife biologist most of my life, but haven't had work in the field for a few years now. I've also worked at some commercial goat dairies both milking/animal care and making cheese. It's been mostly low paying, stupid jobs to survive lately, and I'm hoping to have my own
land soon and change all that!
I love
gardening, caring for animals, or stewarding the earth in other ways. I also enjoy hiking with my dogs and just sitting around in natural places.
I'm planning to start a gourmet
mushroom business once I have some land. Mushrooms are one of my favorite foods, and I also believe they will be a key food and ally for our survival in the future. I also hope to have a dog treat business with my own healthy, affordable recipes and start a dog training club.
Not the best pictures, I took them with my computer.
