Description
I have recently purchased (March 2022) a humble little 3 acre property accompanying a three bedroom home/ a three car shed currently being renovated) and a five pen insulated chook shed that could potentially be transformed into liveable spaces/ spa sauna space- thats my vision....
The land is 3 acres a-joining two other properties that breed and home highlander cattle, beef cattle, goats, sheep, pigs and chickens.
My three acres is a blank canvas, the vision and dreaming is to establish natives and a food forrest. My focus so far has been implimenting permaculture principles, growing as much food as I can (on my own) attending to the orchard/ lawns and revovations. The property consists of 12 fruit tree's + and three organic garden vegi beds. (Wow id love some help)
I am a 43yr old Gestalt therapists and bodyworker- queer friendly/ safe space
My 72 yr old father currently lives on the property with me, his age and health issues in the determined that he needed to come out onto the farm and he would build his own independent liveable space. This space is half completed so im excited that he could be in his own space no later then February 2023.
The ideal exchange would be accomodation and food exchange for some help and work on the land.
I am looking to invite one or two people to join us here on the property to support me in the up keep of the property and - Skill share/ working bee's, cultural exchange and develop connection, community and co-creation.
My Long term vision is to permaculture design the property, bring in the birds and wildlife and establish new living accomodation spaces.
