My name is Mary and I live in the original homestead of my family's farm. I am working to transform my one acre parcel into a permaculture demonstration farm and hope to teach workshops and / or host school children for "back to basics" and permaculture learning experiences. I have found many permaculture enthusiasts in the SW Michigan area, but not many in the Mid-Michigan area. I'm hoping to use this forum to connect with other permies in the Mid-Michigan area and develop friendships. If one of those permies happens to be a male, then perhaps we can see where the friendship leads. I am single and have a bright 5 year old daughter whom I love with all of my heart. I don't just bring people into her life, so I'm not looking for anything like that...friendship first...ALWAYS.
