Greetings all! I am a natural builder formerly from the Berea, Ky area, recently moved up to Cincinnati and looking for a few acres where I can do some small earthen structures. I'd love to connect with other builders in the area. Anyone know of existing places or active natural builders near Cincy?

Welcome to Permies!
I'm delighted to have a natural builder move here to Cincinnati.

One of my brothers lived in Berea, with his partner, who taught at the college there.
He spoke well of the social climate.
I don't know any local natural builders,but I do know a farmer who might be interested in hosting such a project.
Richard Steward of Carriage House Farm
He is a serial entrepreneur who hosts lots of workshops and festivals.

Another local place that might be interested is Tikkun Farm.
The Rev. Dr. Mary Laymon runs the farm and it is  very community oriented.
They lost a farmhouse to fire back in 2022, but they do plan on rebuilding.

I know of three other spiritual leaders who grow food for the people, but I think  Mary is the only one with acres of land .


Now I have heard of a local earthship project, but I don't know them:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfD3TTswZ7PxW3f3sijaLgtMlAxiz-I4Y&si=mt9JV9Z1YtLxC7sH

Thanks William! I will follow up on these. I have met Mary and been to Tikkun Farms. They have some good events.
