43, married but seperated, central Vermont land owner and farmer seeking woman to share time, life, and dreams with

I'm out here on 34 acres next to Camel's Hump in Vermont.  Been camping up here four years and finally own it.  Totally off grid in a cabin built from trees harvested on the land.  Compost toilet.  Gravity fed water.  Raising mangalitsa pigs and jacob sheep.  Expanding the food forest- currently growing some perennial fruit: apples, pears, plums, cherries, serviceberries, quinces, crab apples, hawthorns, oaks, beech, mountain ash, aronia berries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, currants, jostaberries, gooseberries, cranberries, highbush cranberries, roses, blackhaws, choke cherries, strawberries, thimbleberries, elderberries, grapes... expanding all the time with diversity.  We're in a rare northeastern mountain rainforest so it's a fight against the molds, but the plants get hardier every year with input.  Just doing my thing trying to save the world a few acres at a time, a labor of love.  Peace and Abundance is the mission.  We're working with a community loan organization to create (on grid) low income housing on the property hopefully breaking ground next year.  (Currently in permitting for one of the first true gray water systems in the state in support of the existing cabin.)

Looking for someone to share it all with and collaborate magic.  I love to dance, ski, dream...


Yes, this is me:

Hello F Rose - how are things in VT?  I'm writing from MI - I've been searching for off grid permit communities- do you find them common in VT?  How's your time there?

kind regards,

Your farm sounds to be going well!

I am surprised by the mention of rainforest. I didn’t know Camel’s Hump was a rainforest. Aside from alpine tundra, if you don’t mind, how is it different from the rest of Vermont—vegetation, etc.? I am very curious to know.
