Hello permies in the Cascadia Region,
My wife and I currently reside in the Arlington, WA area and we are looking for a small parcel of
land that we can farm and you know... get our hands dirty!
We have been looking for land in the area for years, but unfortunately the markets and interest rates are just going up. I figured that even though purchase of our own land may be out of the question for a few more years, I may be able to find someone in the area with vacant land with whom I can make a creative deal to actually get something going.
I have been studying
permaculture, biodynamic ag, etc for many years and have done what I can in apartments and in some family members yards, but I would really love to have atleast a half acre to get
experience, grow food, and experiment with what I have been learning.
My current thinking is that in exchange for letting us use your land, you could share in the yeilds and benefit from the long term regerative processes and beauty this can bring to your land. I am, however; open to discussing alternative arrangements as well.
I am 29, my wife is 28 and currently pregnant with our first child (WOOHOO!) and it has become more important than ever for us to seriously begin the process of reintegrating into a more natural lifestyle. (In other words I am tired of theory and study and desperately crave experience on the land!)
There is much more I could say, but if the prospect of having someone who is very serious about stewardship and regenerative processes cultivate your land, then give me a shout.
God Bless and I hope to hear from you soon,
- Rick
P.S. If you're in the area but don't fit the discription of this posting, please reach out regardless! My goal is to totaly immerse myself into this culture, and meeting amazing people who share this interest and lifestyle goal is very important to me.
