Hi there, my name is Daisy, and we are a family of 7 looking for a place that we can homestead on. We're open to leasing, owner carry, work trade, work for land usage, etc. We're hoping to have access to at least 10 acres.

We don't claim to know anything close to everything about homesteading, but honestly we've always wanted to learn and have begun to dip our toes in. We're tired of "the gain-less grind" and all the busy-ness of not getting anywhere in life, and having nothing of substance to show for it, nothing to leave the kids, no legacy, no safe haven. We're desperate to change that.

We want to build a home (we will have an RV to stay in while we get the outer shell built) and have horses, a couple cows, chickens (already have 20) and pigs. We also want to grow supplemental hay for the horses, who we will in turn use to tend the field, as well as using the manure from the cows and horses for the garden and greenhouse. I homeschool the kids and hubby works, and I would love to learn more about natural healing and remedies and grow a medicine garden as well.

We're originally from North Idaho, so we're quite familiar with the area, it's critters and seasons. We feel like the Lord is dired ting us to Lincoln county Montana. why, well, He never tells me that, just the where LOL.

I'm sure this is a long shot, but I live by the motto that you'll never know unless you try. If you or anyone you know might fit what we're hoping to find, y'all can email me at unchainedbymercy@gmail.com

Stay safe, God bless ❤️

Welcome to Permies Daisy.
You are looking at a beautiful part of the country.  
If I can suggest that you get a copy of the SkIP Book  (Skills to Inherit Property) and work through it.  https://permies.com/w/165582/
This forum may help with your building when you find your place https://permies.com/c/6
Again welcome

Welcome to Permies, Daisy! I've been learning about natural medicine here and one of the great things about it is how easy it is. I gave some vials of cottonwood-infused oil as Christmas presents last year. There were three steps to making it: Pick cottonwood buds, soak them in olive oil, then strain out the buds six weeks later. I plan to start a new batch this month. There is all kinds of skills to learn around here!

Hi Daisy, again,
I missed your comment about home schooling.  We have others here on Permies who are home schooling.
There is a home schooling forum: https://permies.com/f/179/
We look forward to reading about your journey once you are settled
Cheers
