in the door and I’m sure in time I will have great contributions to share but it can be intimidating for someone with less experience than all these permaculture gods and goddesses out here sharing all the cool things that are so fun for me to be exposing myself to. It’s a whole new world and I feel like that’s a mission everyone here shares- community and converting people to a better way of life and the singles forum is a great introduction


Don't be shy in asking questions on any topic that interests you in any of the forums. I'd suggest reading up on the 'Wheaton Eco Scale' here- any questions that help everyone understand better what it takes to encourage people moving from "level 1" to "level 2" (or even 0 to 1)  would be pretty central to the 'mission' of this site...



I really appreciate you sharing that! It definitely breaks down the intimidation into manageable increments

Maybe only people with 3 apples or more should be able to advertise. The only way to be sure you're dealing with a permaculture minded person is when they're appreciated by fellow Permies.

Still looking for him! Edit to add for anyone thinking about messaging- throw in a photo so it doesn’t feel like talking to a computer 💜

Hey! My name is Caitlin and I’ve basically made myself an urban homestead but I’m looking to transition to off grid. I am in the process of finding land in TN, AL, GA, FL, and TX. I would love to have a partner (romantic or not) to rely on like they could rely on me. If you’re wholesome holler!
