hello my name is Jason Horton, My wife Jessica Horton and myself are seeking a farming opportunity much like you had described. We currently live in Gloucester Mass. with our 3 year old daughter Autumn, But are currently looking to move. Our dream is to farm on a small scale to be self sufficient and self reliant. Living off the land and breeding some animals too. then over time with perseverance , determination and hard work we can not only farm for our self but also for our community. I also intend to build a small insulated greenhouse where I will start up several Aquaponic setups. This will not only enable us good fresh fish and vegetables during the winter months but will become self sufficient/Renewable habitats that will let us also sell some fish and veggies and some fruit during the slower winter months bringing in some income. On top of that witch I have explained I have plenty of other great Ideas for self sufficiency/reliance with a goal of helping the community, Earth and each other.
Jessica, Autumn and I are first looking for a pre-existing farming family that would have the space to initially bring us in as a family and start off by working for our stay, witch I only can hope and pray will end up to be long term. I (Jason) have a multitude of skills that are assets to any labor style work. From being a commercial fisherman, Fence builder, Painter, Mason, landscape, electrical experience i.e.: marine, home, solar, wind. I also can Frame, install drywall, plastering, pointing stone walls. I was a heavy machine operator I have exp. in Hydraulics some diesel and gas mechanics. I also am a avid rock/ice climber have climbed and trim/take down trees and last but not least I apprenticed for 2 years to be a Ferrier/blacksmith while living and working for my stay on the farm, I can confidently trim horses and other animals and, I can ride.
If you are still looking to have a family move out work for room and board, and help get a small business up and going and even possibly become extended family then please contact us back at your earliest possible convenience.
