Dakota,
We have a 2.5 Acre land in Malibu that we are converting via Permaculture into a food forest/native habitat. We are looking for an(or two) estate manager(s) who could live on site in exchange for managing the land development in according to permaculture principles. I just completed Geoff Lawton's PDC and have a design for the property, but we are still in the early stages of earthworks and implementation. There is opportunity for selling fresh produce to local restaurants depending on what you can produce, in addition to other earning opportunities. I would be happy to discuss more with you-- the possibilities are open depending on your interests and energy.
Your post is right in line with what we are hoping for, because ideally we hope to attract someone (or a couple) who can invest their passion and commitment into the land and reap the benefits of their hard work. I would love to discuss more with you.
Thanks--Sunder
