  • Description

    Description

    we are a young family with a 3 yr old and a 1yr old , Seven has 2 more kids that come see us as well from time to time. We live a very simple life with few items and eat simply off the land. We are into creating music, gardening, respecting the earth, yoga, meditation, helping one another, hiking, learning, spirituality, and connecting to your inner self.  Our goal in life is to help shift the world to be more one with nature, respect the earth, respect each other and show love and compassion to others. This world is filled with consumerism and greed and high levels of ego. It is hard for a young couple that wants to detach from society and still live in this world. We don’t want to be in debt our whole life or work just to live.  
    Currently we have a house on the land that we have built, a small wood shed, a studio/bunkie, a 15ft travel trailer and a yurt. there is a hand pump well on our land, we aren’t connected to the grid but we do have a solar system.
    we are apart of a land share community and a greater community of like minded people and this is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in a community setting if this is something you’re interested in. There is also a cool art and nature school here in the community.
    We are seeking people who are interested in this lifestyle.
