Greetings, Is the position of Polyculture poobah still open? If so, where do I send a resume?

I'm interested!

I would like to bring more Agroforestry to the mono-cropping farms of Iowa! I Forest Garden on my one acre. Its amazing what can fit on an acre! I'm tired of being single too. Tell me more about yourself!

Thanks for the photos! They're beautiful. I'm laughing about how this thread became a goat love fest. It has cheered my day! Haha about the chickens this spring. I did the same thing to my ex the first year I had chickens. I just brought them home to live in a cardboard box. It was the only way to get him to take me seriously and help me build a coop! I've had ducks in the past. They are very sweet but SOO messy! They make the poultry yard slimy. I'm not trying to discourage you just pointing out the necessity to have the right set up for them! Best wishes to you and your family on your homestead!

Yes! Goats are in the works for the next year. I need a daily goat fix too! Do you have a herd of the adorable or dairy kind?

I feel kind of silly that I laid it all out there! I'm just really tired of dating and finding that people aren't seriously into the same lifestyle as me. Permaculture work isn't work. Its an act of love and I need to be with someone who understands that. Also, that my children are an instant party! They're so funny and full of joy. All my best to you in your searching!

I am looking for a partner in scheming! Someone to plant and build with. I'm a Permaculture Landscape Designer who would like to homestead and build a small natural home, probably strawbale cob hybrid. I am willing to relocate, within the Midwest. I share custody of my three beautiful school age children. I currently homestead on a suburban one acre lot. I have chickens, hoophouse, many gardens and perennial plantings.
I'm 35, separated for 2 years, processing the divorce now in Eastern Iowa.
