Hi friends,
My Mom and I are both very motivated to find a large property in a rural area suitable for permaculture homesteading and living off grid in an area with other like minded friends living in close proximity, anywhere from a short walk to an hour drive, to create an informal intentional "neighbourhood" of sorts. I love the idea of creating community in this way, where we could gather periodically and help each other out with different projects, exchange tools, equipment, ideas, knowledge, etc.
Has anyone actually done this before?
A little about me...I'm vegan and mostly fruit-based, 32 yrs old, single but wanting to meet someone who wants to start a family...I have been gardening/practicing permaculture for several years and am now also focusing on learning as much as possible about construction/carpentry, mechanics, plumbing...all those other things that come in handy for starting a homestead.
My ideal neighbours would be people who share the same motivation to walk away from the current dysfunctional slave system, and create a new one by working together to grow our own nutrient dense fruits and vegetables, regenerate the soil and ecosystems and take responsibility for our own water, energy and shelter. Definitely no one who smokes and drinks and "trusts the experts".
My Mom and I have been looking mostly in various parts of France and northern Spain so far...I'm going to spend the next few months travelling around to explore different areas...Eastern Europe is an interesting option too.
If anyone resonates with this and is looking for something similar or would like to talk or collaborate, please get in touch!
