I do roofing, framework, plumbing, concrete laying, siding, windows, and more. I have plenty of pictures of my work and references. My phone number is 970-391-5707, and my email is dead.kxng98@gmail.com, my name is Mark Baize and I go by Lucii.

Hello


Is this now Finca Morpho?  

Hello

My name is Amanda and I really don’t know how I stumbled upon this site but me and my family have been interested in buying land or becoming part of a community. I’m 34 years old married for 16 years and have 3 children and one child on the way. Maybe some one could help me out if you community is not accepting new people are there any other communities or how could I go about starting one. We are Hispanic (Puerto Rican) and wanting to get away from the busy American life. We would like to focus on agriculture and giving back to the community.

Thank you

YM: welcome on board :)

Please keep all discussions on the forum as much as possible, rather than having a private conversation which others can't help with.

This is an awesome idea, I am 34, hardworking, and want to help build everyone’s future tiny home cabins on this land! I love building. It’s my passion and if I can be part of this community please email me at easeof29117@gmail.com:)

Hoping to help in any way I can with construction.

I am interested in possible start up of a faith-based agricultural community. Currently live in Rio Piedras. Would love to see your sight and discuss its workings; rules, community cooperation, market etc.

Hi Lisa

Is this post still relevant today? I am very interested in learning more as me and my better half are considering a change toward self sustainability and greener living.

I'd love to hear from you guys.

Hi Albert,

Welcome to Permies.

How do we get involved?  Do you have builders? I’m married and have kids.

are you in puert rico now-2021

Is this still a thing?!?!?! Do you allow for short term visiting?

Hi my name is elijah west im a 27 year old male with a love and general knowledge of agriculture and permaculture aswell as living experience in  early/mid childhood care,growing annuals, and raising organic pasture rotaitional grazed broilers/layers/meat chickens, pigs and milk/meat goats. Im eager to learn hands on and have such a desire to get out of the city and live off the land.. Please message me back or email me at westelijah.v94@gmail.com

I spoke with Skai about 2 years ago regarding their project in Luquillo Puerto Rico (East of San Juan). Unfortunately, things did not work out and she had moved back to the US mainland. She was leasing the land from the government and ran into numerous challenges to difficult to overcome. This is a big challenge when you do not own your property and are leasing and have payments and regulations to follow and you are not in control of your destiny. IMO the only way to make a project work is to own the land and have the resources, skills, and team in place to make your vision a reality.  I think she was in the Atlanta area when I spoke with her and I asked her many questions to learn why her project did not succeed. It is always great to learn from people who have done it what works and what does not work.

I am a raving fan of Paul and Permies and I found these older messages on Permies because I am doing research on Puerto Rico for a future project I am planning. FYI I heard Paul speak at the Exit and Build Land Summit in Bastrop Texas recently and he was brilliant and humorous as always.  BTW Marjory Wildcraft (The Grow Network) also spoke at the event and mentioned she has now moved to Puerto Rico to start a community farming project. There are some great people in Puerto Rico looking to do permaculture projects.

I have a network both in PR as well as the states looking to take part in building places like this.

What area are you in?

Thank you
