I have spent most of my life living in the Wilderness. Never married. Its not exactly a farm but I grow a lot of my own food.
I am looking for a retired MOBILE (preferably fit or wanting to be) woman who can bring her own RV, and has reliable transportation.
I am a 80 year old woman, vegan..but very fit…..martial artist, I have a lot of workout equipment you can share.
Total output for you would be $400 a month. This would include rent and utilities UNLESS you are using a lot of electricity, then we would have to renegotiate. Heating must be propane…..electricity is very expensive here. You can use evaporative cooling here. If you decide to use AC, you will have to pay for that.
I can share my Starlink if you are a normal user.
Looking for someone to move here between now (Aug 2025) and Spring (2026). Spring here is April.
Lots of area for gardening on your own, I have five acres. You can grow year round here….its pretty mild weather…winters rarely get to less than 32 at night, days are mostly 50-60. Summers are mostly in the high 90s except for a week or two here and there that can be 105. We get moderate rain and snow in the winter…..little in the summer. Humidity is low here. I live on a plateau…it can be very windy here.
I do have a lot of trees…so its not your normal desert property.
If you like to cook, I have almost every cooking appliance known to womankind….plus solar ovens for outside cooking as well as rocket stoves.
Animals are welcome.
No smoking, no drugs.
This is a rural area, its three miles on a dirt road to my place, no streetlights. No near neighbors. USPS does not deliver, my post office is 10 min away, and you can share my PO Box. FedEx and UPS also has to be delivered to the PO Box.
Its thirty minutes to town…Walmart, normal grocery stores like Vons, Staters, Aldi’s, Grocery Outlet.
Medicare doctors, dentists, a small medical center
Palm Springs is down the hill (I am at 3500’) and is approximately an hour away.
I am a quiet person, I can be chatty but it is not a regular thing with me. I tend to lean toward a hermit nature. I am not unfriendly, its just that I have spent my life alone so its normal for me to be rather “self” sustained. I am though, very happy to share my knowledge on this kind of lifestyle.

I am a man that has been vegan nearly ten years, I am counting, it is still over nine, but I had stopped getting meat more years before that. Since early in 2016 I have been using the way of whole food from plants, that means for me there are just foods from the plant kingdom. I am 66 years old, but youthful in activity. I am in California.
