We are currently pondering the idea of looking for people who would be interested in working with families and organic agriculture in a subtropical mountainous area...

Conditions not very good, can be buggy, but definitely rewarding..Its also a very conservative and basic lifestyle with lots of indigenous culture..

My wife and I just moved out to Winnsboro and are looking to start an organic garden. We need a source of manure. I have a 14' trailer. We are looking into starting organic from the beginning. It is just her and I and we won't need a lot but are trying to get started and I know I need to prepare the ground this year for next years crops.

I can be reached at 903-857-9922 or email of jeffbob@verizon.net.

We are also looking into vermiculture.

Jeff

I'm a hard-working, responsible, and bright young woman who grew up on a small family farm in northern Minnesota, but I have been away from it at college and grad school for a while. My job in Madison, WI is ending in late September and I'm looking to get back into farming/gardening this winter (but my Minnesota farm won't be doing much between October and March). I'd be willing to travel for the right opportunity, and would love to work out near/on-farm lodging.

I can also cook, have a back ground in botany/ecology/restoration, and am a professional map maker--in case those services are needed as well.

Thanks! -Althea (althea dot archer at gmail.com)

Hello,
I am a middle aged man who has been experimenting with various specialty crops and alternative, organic, no-till methods in the Upper Great Lakes Region. I am looking to work for a progressive open minded farm(er), enter a partnership, and/or purchase small acreage/farm for an expanded operation. Prefer to be near Great Lakes, but would consider other areas. I am motivated/enthusiastic. I like it quiet, not interested in working in urban or semi-urban area. Let's talk. traditionalnesters@yahoo.com

I am looking for 8 families / singles who would like to rent 1 1/2 acre plots for off grid living in mountains of Santa Cruz County, Ca. Shared water, you bring everything else ( yurt, compost toilet, garden, animals, etc.) The rent would be $ 1600 a month. If you check the rents around here, a crappy one bedroom apartment goes for that. This would be way up in the mountains - not commute friendly. If you might be interested, email me and I will forward more information. Yours, JM

Hello
I may be attending a masters program out of state early next year and am looking for a very responsible, knowledgeable farmer to sublet my home, property and orchards for over
a year. I live in Napa, CA and have a 2.5 acre organic farmette with apples,
pears, peaches, figs, asian pears, apricots, vegetable beds, and a beautiful home. This is a wonderful location and amazing place to live but this is also
my first consideration before jumping on the graduate school bandwagon.
Thanks to you all and perhaps helping get the word out
