Hi all, I have a small acerage and a spare room. I have gardens, fruit trees, dairy goats, sheep, and chickens. I have a grown son who lives here too, but he's a trucker so not home a lot.
When I'm in the house I spin, weave, knit, crochet, embroider, can, cook, sew, but rarely twiddle my thumbs.
I'd love to find one or two like minded folks, who want to learn all about these things and more. For $200 you could have a weekend to learn one topic fairly well, bed and board included as well as supplies. For $400 you could stay a week and learn some more! And for $600 you could stay a month, and really get the knack of a few things!
A better deal if we 'click' and you'd like a year or more.
If you're interested, holler and we'll talk the details! Looking forward to meeting you! Lorna Jean

Lorna Jean, if I could get away from our own farm, I would love to take you up on this. It sounds like a great idea! Good luck with it. I'm willing to bet you'll have a full calendar before too very long!

If you can dream it, and if you are willing to put forth the work and effort, you can have anything you envision.

Well my mom and I are kinda gypsying around seeking an alternative education in homesteading, organics, off gridding etc? How much would you charge for 2 peoplen for a month and could we bring 2 inside dogs and a mild mannered but funny parrot? We had a live in/farm situation b4 but the land owner did not tolerate dogs inside and that caused alot of problems between us, and I dont want to be in that situation again. If these things are ok then lets talk. We would love to learn. I am a writer, painter, novice spinner, fiber artist, organic hobby farmer and my mom is a grant writer and all around cool person. I stayed on an off grid organic commune/farm and dived into the hidden world of off gridding and organics and I plan to build my own house some day and go completely off grid.
Here is my email...gypsy_poetry@hotmail.com
Email me and we can exchange phone numbers.
