Can I suggest you take a look at the Dexter breed. It is an old world breed from Wales & Ireland originally. Very suited to organic farming practices. Good for meat & milk production. Very hardy, mine are yet to see a vet or his pills & potions and its 5 years. Great breeders & easy birthers. Enjoy the look & one more thing they like human contact on daily basis or they get grumpy.

I am interested in the oppotunity you described on the Rodale website.I have worked as a hydrologist- water resource/watershed management specialist for the Forest Service and the state of Arizona working in southern Arizon and part of the time working on the San Pedro River in the 1980s and 1990s. I have had small irrigated farms(10 to 17 acres) in the Safford AZ area and in southern Washington. I am retiring from the Forest Service in the next month or two and would be interested in working and/or buying several irrigated acres. I have a RV trailer that I can live in. My wife and I are in good health. I have also built several houses and farm buildings. I have read the agricultural writings of Rodale, Fukuoa, Wes Jackson, Wendell Berry,Allen Savory, Schmacher,etc. Please contact me if you desire more information.

SOUTHERN ARIZONA RANCH/FARM
Cochise County
In the beautiful San Pedro River Valley near Benson, Arizona, we have a lovely 74 acre ranch/farm. This “Cascabel” community has been featured in the Arizona Highways Magazine in the past. The views are breathtaking.
We are looking for enterprising farmers/ranchers (family/couple) to live and work on the property to help us develop a certified organic ranch/farm. We are interested in those with some knowledge, skill, and experience and that want to pursue their own farm business, take on a seasonal project, such as raising free-range chickens, turkeys, pigs; and/or, growing organic crops such as garlic, chilies, etc. We would also consider a buy, rent, lease of part or of all the property.
The property was previously an ostrich/goat ranch with seven (7) high fenced pastures (4-7 acres each). Each pasture has access to a six (6) inch water line. The property has five (5) registered water wells, two of which are irrigation wells producing over 600 gallons per minute.
There is a small three-bedroom home behind the main home on the property. There is a large barn and a covered storage area on the property, as well. Two ponds are located on one corner of the farm/ranch that can be stocked with fish.
The farm is located about 20 miles from Benson (proper), 26 miles from Willcox, about 60 miles from Tucson, and about 50 miles from Sierra Vista.
If you are looking for a unique opportunity, we are open to innovative ideas to get this property back into production.

I have a beautiful 60 acre former Amish farm in SW Wisconsin, just 100 miles from the Twin Cities and about 30 miles from Eau Claire. It’s a beautiful setting with 40 open and 20 wooded acres.
I’m looking for enterprising beginning farmers to live and work on the property and help me develop it into a productive grass-based permaculture farm. I’m not looking for interns; I need someone with some knowledge, skill and experience who wants to either start their own farm business, take on a seasonal project – like raising pastured poultry, finishing pigs or growing a produce crop– or is willing to work in partnership with us to establish the farming enterprise.
The last two seasons I’ve planted trees and worked on the house with a friend and fellow permaculturist, but we both have jobs and obligations that keep us from living on the farm full time… so we can’t really get much done as weekend farmers. We want to continue to work on the farm when we can, but we need others to join us who can be there full time.
There are rooms in the main farmhouse (with electricity and running water) that we would all share, as well as a small bunkhouse or a loft above the garage, all comfortable places to stay. (no trailers)
The farm is located about 10 miles from a decent-sized town, 30 miles from a small city and 100 miles from Minneapolis and St. Paul. There is transportation by bus between Minneapolis and Eau Claire and we drive back and forth on most weekends.
I’m open to many possibilities so if you’re looking for a farm to work on for a short project or as an ongoing venture this could be a great opportunity.

Hello, Sandra
My name is Jennifer and I am very interested in your caregiver position. I will tell you my situation, then you can decide if you think this would work out.
I am 31, strong, honest, dependable, loving, and hard working. I have my PCA and have done homecare for emphysema, dementia, and ms patients. I have also worked as a medical assistant and phlebotomist. I enjoy homecare because it allows me the freedom to care for individuals without all the polotics of an office environment. I love to love. I am not alone though, and I don't know how you feel about a family living near you. My husband, Sean is a very skilled licensed contractor, and we have 3 boys. Lake is 9, Dagan is 6 and Fixx is almost 1. We are a good family and hope to someday have our own land to work and enjoy life together. We are very outdoorsy people. We do alot of hiking, biking, gardening, and exploring. We have lived in California, Washington, Colorado, Alaska, and Rhode Island. I was so excited when I read your add this morning before work. Just last night my husband said, "we should have stayed in Washington." Not that we regret any experience we have had, but we loved it there, we also have great friends there and in Alaska whom we would like to be closer to. This sounds like a perfect opportunity for our family. We have been trying to figure out how we could live somewhere remote, garden, learn about alternative energy sources, and spend more time together out in nature, while saving to buy our own land. You are offering this all. Please get back to me if you think this could work. I can send pictures of us, work, rental,and personal references. My email is heartandsoul98@gmail.com and my phone # is 401-632-6410. Take care Sandra and I will talk to you soon.

I am retiring from the Forest Service in the next month or two and would be interested in working and/or buying several irrigated acres. I have a RV trailer that I can live in. My wife and I are in good health. I have also built several houses and farm buildings. I have read the agricultural writings of Rodale, Fukuoa, Wes Jackson, Wendell Berry,Allen Savory, Schmacher,etc. Please contact me if you desire more information.

Southern Arizona Ranch/Farm
SOUTHERN ARIZONA RANCH/FARM

In the beautiful San Pedro River Valley near Benson, Arizona, we have a lovely 74 acre ranch/farm. This “Cascabel” community has been featured in the Arizona Highways Magazine in the past. The views are breathtaking.
We are looking for enterprising farmers/ranchers (family/couple) to live and work on the property to help us develop a certified organic ranch/farm. We are interested in those with some knowledge, skill, and experience and that want to pursue their own farm business, take on a seasonal project, such as raising free-range chickens, turkeys, pigs; and/or, growing organic crops such as garlic, chilies, etc. We would also consider a buy, rent, lease of part or of all the property.
The property was previously an ostrich/goat ranch with seven (7) high fenced pastures (4-7 acres each). Each pasture has access to a six (6) inch water line. The property has five (5) registered water wells, two of which are irrigation wells producing over 600 gallons per minute.
There is a small three-bedroom home behind the main home on the property. There is a large barn and a covered storage area on the property, as well. Two ponds are located on one corner of the farm/ranch that can be stocked with fish.
The farm is located about 20 miles from Benson (proper), 26 miles from Willcox, about 60 miles from Tucson, and about 50 miles from Sierra Vista.
If you are looking for a unique opportunity, we are open to innovative ideas to get this property back into production.

Beginning farmers wanted
I have a beautiful 60 acre former Amish farm in SW Wisconsin, just 100 miles from the Twin Cities and about 30 miles from Eau Claire. It’s a beautiful setting with 40 open and 20 wooded acres.
I’m looking for enterprising beginning farmers to live and work on the property and help me develop it into a productive grass-based permaculture farm. I’m not looking for interns; I need someone with some knowledge, skill and experience who wants to either start their own farm business, take on a seasonal project – like raising pastured poultry, finishing pigs or growing a produce crop– or is willing to work in partnership with us to establish the farming enterprise.
The last two seasons I’ve planted trees and worked on the house with a friend and fellow permaculturist, but we both have jobs and obligations that keep us from living on the farm full time… so we can’t really get much done as weekend farmers. We want to continue to work on the farm when we can, but we need others to join us who can be there full time.
There are rooms in the main farmhouse (with electricity and running water) that we would all share, as well as a small bunkhouse or a loft above the garage, all comfortable places to stay. (no trailers)
The farm is located about 10 miles from a decent-sized town, 30 miles from a small city and 100 miles from Minneapolis and St. Paul. There is transportation by bus between Minneapolis and Eau Claire and we drive back and forth on most weekends.
I’m open to many possibilities so if you’re looking for a farm to work on for a short project or as an ongoing venture this could be a great opportunity.

Hello, Sandra
My name is Jennifer and I am very interested in your caregiver position. I will tell you my situation, then you can decide if you think this would work out.
I am 31, strong, honest, dependable, loving, and hard working. I have my PCA and have done homecare for emphysema, dementia, and ms patients. I have also worked as a medical assistant and phlebotomist. I enjoy homecare because it allows me the freedom to care for individuals without all the polotics of an office environment. I love to love. I am not alone though, and I don't know how you feel about a family living near you. My husband, Sean is a very skilled licensed contractor, and we have 3 boys. Lake is 9, Dagan is 6 and Fixx is almost 1. We are a good family and hope to someday have our own land to work and enjoy life together. We are very outdoorsy people. We do alot of hiking, biking, gardening, and exploring. We have lived in California, Washington, Colorado, Alaska, and Rhode Island. I was so excited when I read your add this morning before work. Just last night my husband said, "we should have stayed in Washington." Not that we regret any experience we have had, but we loved it there, we also have great friends there and in Alaska whom we would like to be closer to. This sounds like a perfect opportunity for our family. We have been trying to figure out how we could live somewhere remote, garden, learn about alternative energy sources, and spend more time together out in nature, while saving to buy our own land. You are offering this all. Please get back to me if you think this could work. I can send pictures of us, work, rental,and personal references. My email is heartandsoul98@gmail.com and my phone # is 401-632-6410. Take care Sandra and I will talk to you soon.
