Mark Steagall

Beds are Queen size Murphy Bed and 1 bunk bed.
No intact male dogs over 3 months old or any cats.
Equine and livestock friendly. Clean and sober home.

This opportunity is perfect for someone interested in gardening and animal husbandry, and to reap the fruits of your own labor. Or to someone with extensive experience with living on a homestead.

We are not offgrid... yet.

An ideal candidate should have at least a part time job to pay rent and want to be part of a traditional Christian family and community. Our philosophy and convictions are very similar to Anabaptist, although we do wear bright colors.

The domicile is a 20 foot 2019 Forest River RV Travel Trailer. It has a queen murphy bed and 1 bunk bed. Air conditioner works great. Composting toilet. It was a great place to start a family. My family and I have recently outgrown it and bought the house and property.

The property is 4 acres, 3 of which is pasture and garden areas. A small-medium size barn and a pond. I can offer one stall in the barn if you want it/ need it, no extra charge.

We are looking for kindred souls to be part of our clan. This is not a work to rent offer. But we want someone who is interested in growing and raising their own food and will tend their own garden and keep their own animals. No pesticides and no herbicides on the property.

Thank you for your time and we look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Mark Steagall

Hello permies!
    I am Mark Steagall. My wife, Susie, and I are Christian, traditional, and agrarian. We are soon to close the deal on a 4 acre farm in Southeastern Kentucky.

There are 3 options for our proposal:

Option#1. $500 per month with no commitment to do any work for us/with us and 10%(roundabouts) of all fruits/vegetables/herbs, milk, or eggs that you are able to produce on the property. But only 5% if it is a processed product(like cheese or tinctures). We have a well maintained 2019 20ft Forest River RV that will be parked about 100yards away from the main house for a good private living quarters. A preferred candidate will have traditional Christian agrarian morals, and will garden and tend to animals on our thoroughly fenced property.

Option #2. If we vibe and you want to build something truly awesome together, you may choose to live with us in your own room in our house. We will venture into a business partnership together, completely 50/50 profit split. My wife needs 2 days per week of help with our 4 children, doing laundry, dishes, and making meals. The rest of your time is spent making money with me on our homestead. And doing whatever our hearts desire, gardening, food preservation, animal husbandry, building, remodeling, selling our goods to friends and opening an organic farmstand or store. The possibilities are endless.

Option #3 $280 per month for the RV rental plus 18hours of work, helping us on the homestead. Goal-oriented and money making potential. When the homestead makes money, you make money as part of our team. We grow, you grow. Same 10% share of gardening and animal products, 5% on any processed goods you make.

I am 38yo, very active and strong. I like bow-hunting, animal husbandry, procuring my own meats, gardening, chopping firewood, climbing trees, and homesteading in general.
My wife Susie is 43, also very active and strong. Susie enjoys baking, canning, and sewing.
We both like hiking, rock-hounding, offroading, and everything homestead related.
Our new home, just south of Somerset, Ky, should close escrow in 30 days. It is 4 acres, house, RV pad, garage, barn, and a pond we can stock. If you are interested, please call me at 928-641-8565 or send me a "purple mooseage" on here. Thank you and have an awesome day!

Hi Liane!
Is the Homestead Act you referred to a state or federal act? And does the Homestead Act protect military veterans in any similar way to seniors? Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Mark Steagall

If I take a pig out of a factory, or a plant out of a hydroponic production facility and "set them free" in a highly complex inter-connected natural environment how long do you thing they would last? Not very long right? Unfortunately there are a ton of people who live in human factory farms both physically and mentally. What I struggle with is 1. Can they even be reached? and 2. Can they even survive a transition? and 3. Is my time and energy better invested in developing more fit for purpose individuals that are seeking and wanting my help?

I agree 💯%. It's the same metaphor as the 1st Matrix movie: where Morpheus apologies to Neo about pulling him out of the matrix as an older man, because of the strong emotional connection, and potential for cognitive dissonance to be overwhelming and even violent. Such is the case with the current indoctrination of the human factory which is mainstream society.

Any leads?

Hi Chris,
    I was part of a local community that did some of this in Northern Arizona. As a way of utilizing another form of commerce/currency we took part in something we called a "gifting circle". My good friend who hosted the gifting circles, learned it from a book called "Ubuntu". Ubuntu is a form of commerce that is gift-based.
    Now, personally I perceive the potential flaws with gift-based currency immediately. However, with a community of homogeneous spirit, that is high-morality and high-trust, it is possible. And like most things surrounding permaculture and intentional community, this will only work at a small-community level, and not at a large governmental level. Though, it's been tried many times on large scale, it hasn't proven itself to function properly as a form of government.
