I would love to visit and learn. I'm probably not the candidate you're looking for, but to befriend and learn from you would be awesome. I live close to the KY line in middle TN. My youngest child is going off to college next year. For years I've been dreaming of having a little place in the country close to an area where I could open a bakery coffee shop. Or a bed and breakfast that includes a bakery coffee shop.
I am very much into organic and growing herbs and veggies. I do know how to can. I have had large gardens before. But, there is so much I need to learn and would like to learn. Sounds like you have that knowledge. Also, I'm looking to move out of this expensive county in May, when my son graduates. So I've been looking at various areas I could find a modest place to rent that would allow a garden. You'd probably have knowledge about what is available on your side of the border.
Please contact me if this sounds like something you'd be interested in.
