Hi Richard,

My partner (40) and I (29) are also considering a move to Kentucky soon with hopes to start a native/edible plant nursery business. We've been traveling through the central states camping out of my car and that area just seemed so perfect for us. We also both concluded while setting up our camps that building our own off-grid house and structures seemed so much more fulfilling, affordable, sustainable and fun than renting/owning a regular house and have our sights set on something like that. As we're not at the point currently to buy land, an arrangement like this seems like it could be perfect. We're both gardeners and primarily planty people, I went to school for Conservation Biology/Environmental Science and he Horticulture, but we have a bit of know-how with construction & irrigation and love learning all the different permaculture techniques through this forum & youtube, etc. It sure would be fun to help out & do more hands-on work and possibly carve a little corner out for ourselves & our dog & kitty & a little plant nursery. Please feel free to message me if you'd like, we may be back in the area in the next week or 2 as well for a possible meet-up.

Take care,
Norma

Hey there!

You have a lovely garden & homestead! I'm a gardener and currently living out of my van in Asheville, where I've been for 4 years. I'm looking to do worktrade on someone's permaculture/homestead/farm project for the season (or longer if it works out well and there's an indoor option over the winter), where I can park my van in exchange for some hours every week working on the land. I probably can't do more than ~15 hours/week since I still have to run my gardening business a varying amount of days per week. Would you be interested in a worktrade arrangement for some gardening or other labor? I know a good bit about growing annuals/perennials, seed starting and greenhouse work, chickens, and have done some basic reading on permaculture principles but would love to do more hands-on work with it. I'm a novice carpenter but always down to get some work done! All I really need is a flat spot to park & water, maybe access to a shower/bathroom if you've got it, or a spot for a composting toilet. If this sounds like an exchange that could work out for you, I'd love to see what you've got going on and help out if I can!
