Hello whom this may concern!
I'm a young guy of 28 with a wife and child looking for work that I can be proud of while supporting my family while we work on building our own
permaculture life and business. Right now I'm a roofer in Panama
City, FL and currently live in Wewahitchka, FL. I don't mind roofing but it's not me as I'm a grower and environmentalist minded guy. The waste is unbelievable in the construction fields...very sad. I want to move on to something environmentally friendly so I can feel like part of the greater solution not contributing to the industry and infrastructure of the modern paradigm. However it's the best paying job I can find in my area and I have mouths to
feed and bills to pay...
Just bought 3 acres in Wewahitchka that will be a
permaculture stronghold in due time. Due to buying it though for the next few years I have bills to pay though I'm hard at work paying it off ASAP! I want it paid off!
Want to get back to having a good garden system once again. Down south in Sarasota, Florida I had a 6 year old food forest garden that was extremely productive. I also had quite an established small plant nursery out of my own
yard. Took 6 years to have the crazy garden I did but I want this one to happen much faster! So far I have put in a couple tilled by hand and shovel gardens to usher in my own food production faster right here right now. However I've started a good
hugel mound, sunk in ground hugel bed, and a good sized raised sheet
mulch bed. Not ready yet but will get to planting them here soon.
I'm experienced in planting, cutting propagating,
seed planting, etc. Need to find a permaculture/organic nursery etc within an hour or so of a drive with good pay and also am willing to exchange some time possibly to work for food. However do need physical cash for bills obviously. I currently get paid $12 per hour roofing since I'm new to the trade and the newest guy in general. However down south I built in ground swimming pools and made $15 per hour after about 4 years on the job. I could be useful for forming for pouring
concrete etc. Willing to do anything for
sustainable living wherever within reasonable distance driving at a decent pay. Hard working man willing to bust his ass to do positive things for our world! Hit me up here...please...fast...help!!!
I too have plenty of
land virgin to be permacultured up if anyone is into helping get us started faster. Will trade day for day working to help both parties get things done. If anyone's into setting up a small sustainable operation propagating
permaculture species or farmers market veggie production etc on our property let me know and we'll get together to figure out terms that work for both parties. Willing to set up legal paperwork if so, so neither party can get screwed in any way. I want to be the
permaculture source in my area! Big dreams and ambition for success!
Sorry for the overly explained, comprehensive, and breathy post! I'm an honest guy whom isn't afraid to share my feelings and thoughts. I'm intentionally putting myself out there because I'm desperately looking to do what I view as good for our world and my family. I do need help as much as I feel insecure in saying and asking for it. I'm ready for big things but only need to support my family in the process. Thanks for your consideration!
