My gf and I are in our early 30s.  We are moving out of a Texas city to one of the following states for personal reasons in order to build a forever home and start having kids:

North Carolina
Virginia
Ohio
Pennsylvania
Georgia
Tennessee

We have a vision of teaching permaculture to our future kids who run around on the land playing with other peoples' kids.  We have a fear of moving somewhere new and being alone.  I do not have the knowledge or capacity to form the community we desire from the ground up after we move.  Please help us by pointing and welcoming us to homesteading communities in these states.  We need lots of hands on help.

If anyone is interested in having us, I am an adept carpenter with a passion for building minimalist housing like tiny homes.  I hope to become a firefighter as well wherever I move to.  I have a business degree in growing small businesses.  My hobbies are nerdy.  My girlfriend is a baker who manages a vintage clothing store.

I would hate to move somewhere that sounds good logistically online but has no community for us.  I would cry or worse.  We can only move once.  We are prepared to make sacrifices and work hard to attain the life we want.  It's just not a life we want if you're not there.

Desperate for invitations and directions.  Please help or just say hi.  I will likely visit a community once before moving nearby.  Thank you.

PS: I'm also new to this site.  So if someone could point me to where I might find what I'm looking for, I'll act on it and be grateful.

Welcome to Permies!

I suggest that you browse the intentional community forum. You might find something that would be in the realm of your interests but just know that the forums have a global presence so you will have to explore a bit.

Hi Kenny,

Welcome to permies!!

I hope you’ll find what you’re looking for.

We have regional forums, maybe look in there?

There is also Paul’s permaculture bootcamp, and you can check it out here: Permaculture Bootcamp.
 
There are no more "hours", it's centi-days. They say it's better, but this tiny ad says it's stupid:
permaculture bootcamp - gardening gardeners; grow the food you eat and build your own home
