Matt, this is great.
I'm assuming equal parts each unless I hear otherwise.

Thanks,

Hey,

Does anyone know of a community or potential community in East Texas?
I joined the MeWe group so an answer there is ok also.

Peace to all

Hello,

I am interested. What is the status on the land purchase and how much land is used on each homestead?

Leif ing wrote:So, what updates to this thread? As a Christian and a new wannabe farmer/permie in the KC area, I am interested in how this goes. Would like to meet others around to learn from, but that might be hard with my Sun/Mon weekend. Looking for an alternative to the corporate rat race though... working on paying off debts this year, and trying to get something started in my backyard (about 1/6 acre back there.)

The dream is still alive although taking too long. I have had a couple of folks contact me with some interest and the area with most people Is actually in your area there near KC. I am flipping a house here in TX and will be ready to do something soon (not soon enough).

That sounds amazing but yeah Upstate New York sounds like an interesting place for a community. Do you own the land or paying on it?

Hello all,

Sorry the conversation shifted to facebook but I think this is a better place for it.

There is interest in a few different locations that I will briefly list;

Near Kansas City Mo.
One brother is actively searching for land to LEASE so housing is to be semi-permanent which is kind of bad inmho.

Near Austin
I have a very visionary friend that wants to build an urban community north of austin - again, for me too close to the city.

Somewhere in TX
Several properties are popping up along with some interested folks with skills and perhaps a little money..
I am leaning this way and may even invest to get the community going while still working here in town... (what a great guy.. lol)

My timeline has moved once again and am looking at one more year here in the salt mines.

I hope all are well and God Bless,,

I have been looking to do something very similar to the community you are looking to create.  I am able to invest and purchase now as well.  I am very sensitive to chemicals and EMFs (especially wireless devices)...

Hello,

Sorry for slow response.
Wifi is bad for everyone and I would love to get away from it as well. I would be all for plug in only internet..

God Bless,
Scott

Good thought but not a deal breaker.
I would either have to move the veggies or the containers.

I am starting to lean towards moving the containers outside when the temps get below freezing. Something like 5gal plastic buckets some with clean water some with water/sawdust for internal insulation.
Moving buckets would be a chore but still better than cutting blocks of ice from a pond...

very cool..
