Seeking permaculture lover(s) with experience for our forming community in zone 8b in/around Mendocino County, CA (2-3 hrs north of San Francisco and 1-2 hr east of the Pacific Ocean). Info about the community:
https://www.ic.org/directory/forming-eco-village-commune-and-grief-oasis/
We're in the process of buying an off-grid property with an existing 0.5-1 acre fenced garden including raised beds, hoop houses, ~150 sqft greenhouse, ~300 sqft indoor/outdoor workshop. The land has spring and well water, multiple year-round ponds, and the garden has 6000 gal of tank storage. There is an existing chicken coop waiting to be populated. There are a few assorted young/mature fruit trees. We're looking for someone with an ambitious, but practical minimal-cost, vision who can guide our community effort in food cultivation. Ideally, this community member is willing to share their knowledge and teach all who are interested in helping and learning. Before permanent membership in the community, you'll join on a rental/work-exchange basis to ensure we're a good fit for each other. You'll have a private bedroom and access to all communal spaces. If finances are a limiting factor, we won't ask you to pay rent or utilities. We anticipate some shared community income that can cover staple consumables (basic foods, etc.). You're welcome to perform outside work off-property if you want to supplement. We plan to offer vehicle share to any capable and legally insurable drivers living with us, but we only have 1 vehicle at this time (a camper van). We also plan to have various analog and e-cargo bikes for basic mobility needs.
