I'm interested in connecting with folks who have a self-contained van/rv or even a tiny home on wheels that need somewhere to land and practice permaculture/homesteading. I'm developing a new site on the grounds of an 800-acre land co-op just outside of Ukiah, CA. I have 10 of that to work with, and am in the early stages of building a strawbale home. Construction will likely begin in earnest in Spring of 2026. Once that begins you'd be invited to help with some of the aspects of building. But before that there's plenty else to do and I would also like some land mates on my site to enjoy some company. I don't believe in rent, but I would ask for some kind of work trade as a token of mutual aid for having a place to live. I have off grid power and water, wifi, a woodshop, a small garden, and lots of space to hike and enjoy the beauty of nature. This could be an opportunity for a single person or a couple who have the right set up. I don't have the infrastructure to house anyone at the moment. I myself am living in an RV until the house is finished. Traveling four-leggeds would be welcome so long as they're not aggressive with my cat Moose.
A bit about me an my values which are essential: I'm an anarcho-pagan who strongly believes in the abolishment of capitalism and the settler-colonial paradigm. I'm stewarding this land with a mix of permaculture practices and Indigenous-led fire-positive practices. I believe in collective ownership of the means of production, and that no one is free until we all are free. My activism is pretty strong part of my personality and certainly comes into play with anyone I co-habitat with. You can read a bit more on my bio, and I also have a post up on permaculture singles page.
If this sounds like a good fit for you, hit reply or send me a DM and let's chat. I envision that we'd do a 1, 2, and 3 month trial period check in. If after 3 months it seems like the relationship is working and you'd like to stay longer, or at least be using this space as a homebase you'd be required to sign a Residential Agreement with the co-op. I might have some kind of internal agreement that we'd negotiate as well around that time.
