I live in East Tennessee, literally at the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this is an AWFUL place to try and meet men, so I pretty much have given up, been single for 15 years, three grown sons, 3 grandchildren.
I live in a tiny house (288 sq ft) on an acre of woods with no running water, not by choice, just haven't had the money to drill a well. I currently collect rainwater and haul in drinking water.
I bought this raw land 4 years ago with intentions of building a small cabin and living a dream, and have found it very hard to do all I want to do by myself!
I enjoy gardening, natural homes, cooking outdoors, herbs, reading, livestock, travel, history and living simply.
I am agnostic and politically Liberal.
Interested in meeting like minded men for friendship, maybe more.

Great site. Well here it goes, I'm a 37 yo male. I live on the Gold Coast in QLD, Australia. I am currently looking to buy 100 acres in Northern NSW.

The Gold Coast is not renowned for meeting girls that would like to move away to the bush and start a Permaculture lifestyle. So am trying to find a like minded one now.

I tried this journey when I was younger but lacked funds to start. I am now in a position where I can start for fulfill some of my dreams.

All I need now is someone to share them with.

I dream of a simpler life. Instead of working in an office and running on this hamster wheel, how about a life on a self sustaining farm. Solar and wind powered and with a private water source. No utility bills. How fun would it be to earn a living by working the land. Raising dairy goats and selling cheese or growing and selling daylilies. It honestly doesn't matter what we grow or raise. I'm not afraid of the hard and rewarding work either.

Are you dreaming green too? This dream is so much more doable for two people than one.

I don't own land or have start up money, just a dream. I would love to meet a like-minded mate and we can figure out together how to make our dream a reality.

Well, if the title line was longer that might be where I started.  I've been divorced for over 30 years.  The first portion of that time was spent raising my kids, attending college, working two or more jobs to pay the bills and trying to find a little R&R on weekends when test schedules permitted. 

In the late 80's I quit tending bar and moved to an apprenticeship.  Twenty years of working with hundreds of men every day did something to my dating schedule.  It disappeared.  The companionship I had on the job was enough, then.  I'm now several years into retirement and still making plans for my next career ... homesteader and hedge witch.  And if I'm still making plans, it's easy to adapt those plans to include another.  While I haven't been "looking" for a long time, perhaps I'm ready to be found.

About me...  I'll be 61 very soon.  Overall health is good to very good.  While I have hundreds of acquaintances, my friends are few and of long duration.  Most of my family still speaks to me.   :-D  Omnivore, left of center, hetro, committed to providing for me and mine so far as humanly possible while being still part of a larger circle.  {Grandpa built his own house with blocks he molded himself.  That house still stands 70 years later.  Maybe it's in the DNA.}  Oh yes!  I'm in north central Indiana and plan to stay there. 

After many years of dreaming and looking, the right piece of land came along a few years ago.  The property is a "square 40" in an area with rolling hills, frequently used for monoculture crops.   Lucky for me, this plot doesn't do well for commercial planting.  The hillsides, trees, and high water table were more trouble than it was worth for a couple of the local farmers.  One of them did put in the black walnut plantation about 25 years ago, which saved a lot of work.  Of course that was also the reason the land entered the CRP program, which curtailed usage until recently.  I don't come from a farming background, but have nurtured the desire for 40 years or more.  Last year I was able to attend a conference on no-till farming, on-line research has been going on for years, and once upon a time I grew peas in my backyard in Tacoma.  So far the only crop I've attempted has been potatoes since they don't require a lot of fussing. 

The property is currently unimproved, other than a few campers I have handy to use for the March/Oct. season and tool storage.  We did install an outhouse after a few summers of bucket latrines.  That is now home to the 12 volt battery that runs the two lights we installed last month.  The house in town where I "live" is a 90 mile round trip, so it's nice to be able to have a place to stay for days on end when the feeling strikes and weather permits.  The site for the new house has been chosen, but not vetted by the local planning commission.  We plan an earth sheltered home in the south face of one of the fingers of the hill, and while I don't anticipate any problems with approval, the hoops must be jumped.  In the meantime, there are dozens of trees that need to be girdled this fall so they can be cut in the spring to allow for construction and provide at least a portion of the building materials,

Once the house has a livable start, we can begin to introduce animals to the mix.  Chickens, goats, a couple of pigs have all made it to the short list of things to plan on doing, along with raising Irish Setters.  We do have our eyes open for a female, just in case ...

After a week of rain and high winds, the coming week looks like there might be some good weather for doing farm things.  The tire is ready to go back on the bush hog so I can get a little mowing done.  There needs to be some sort of shelter set up for the equipment to protect it from the winter weather without encouraging the squirrels to start nesting in the wires.  Garlic to plant and potatoes to harvest, with little chance of getting any help before the weekend since my sister and her husband live further away in the other direction.  Hopefully it will be a productive week.

I have been single for more years than I care to mention and have not had a suitable piece of land to garden for a couple of decades. 

I would love to have the opportunity to find a woman that shares my ideas of working with nature to produce food in a natural environment.  Food forests are in my opinion the only truly sustainable method of farming.  I have developed a skill set over my years of living that work well for maintaining such an endeavor.

Things about me that may be relevant are that I am not a vegan and am not opposed to harvesting game for food.  I have read several post by interesting women on this thread that mentioned being vegan which prevented me from making contact so I thought it good to mention my preferences here.
I am not in any way deity oriented either.  I have been called eccentric but eclectic is, in my opinion, much closer to the truth.  There are other aspects about me that are best left for you to discover if there is any interest.

I am currently living in Virginia but would much prefer moving north to Pennsylvania or the Adirondack Plateau region of upstate NY.  Those are not set in stone but preferences.  I grew up in the mountains of upstate NY and know the terrain and climate very well.  ]]> http://www.permies.com/forums/posts/preList/10440/95348 http://www.permies.com/forums/posts/preList/10440/95348
I have been a research scientist, an organic farmer, a local food activist and I am now in transition. I love to cook and share good food with others (I have been vegetarian and vegan, but now I eat anything preferably if it is grown/raised sustainably, humanely and locally). I enjoy meaningful conversations and working with others toward a common vision. I have many interests (or passions), such as hunting, growing and eating mushrooms; various approaches to growing food sustainably, incorporating permaculture concepts; spirituality (Eckhart Tolle type); market gardening/farming; developing, making, and eating fermented foods; intentional community living (ecovillage, co-housing). I am looking to share life meaningfully and joyfully with somebody who share some of my passions. ]]> http://www.permies.com/forums/posts/preList/10399/94963 http://www.permies.com/forums/posts/preList/10399/94963
I am a bit intrigued to see what sort of people are on  this site. So far from reading I see many amusing views....  :lol:

So I'm 28 and grew up on the east coast of Puerto Rico in Fajardo and moved with my parents to London, England when I was fourteen. After high school I stayed in London and SE England for another five years and worked in the London underground scene and the British festival circuit doing stage set-up, decor, lighting, sound and teaching juggling workshops @ festivals. Then I moved to Boulder, CO where I practiced body work when I was not working. I detached from my previous lifestyle and lived in the mountains about 20 miles from town. The snow was lovely. Then I went to  California to work on a farm in the emerald triangle where I stayed for five months.... Once I was done with that I went back to Puerto Rico and spent the last three years working on different types of boats and learning about sailing and fixing sailboats.
I now live in Florida with my family and am looking  into starting a sustainable co-op/CSA/educational  farm using permaculture/no till farming and other principles with some other locals.

I get bored sometimes cause I just got here and havent met too many people as I'm quite involved in transforming our large yard into a food forest.

I love reading non fiction, listening to all kinds of music, singing, spending time with my niece, working every possible moment I can in our garden, trying to figure out the food air deal, and finally trying to share that which I'm passionate about with others.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ... a bit long winded ...

so if you are interested in having a friend just send me a message.

I don't need anyone to complete me, I don't need anyone to take care of me, cook for me, wash my clothes, build my ego, treat me like a man child, etc.

Having said that, companionship can be a wonderful thing with a like minded person. I'm "height weight proportionate" 6ft, brown hair/eyes. I think I'm a decent looking guy  :-D

I'm a very complicated person, I can't help it.  I grew up in a large fundamentalist religious family and was afraid of everything up into my 20's, but from then on I've made my life about learning and experiencing everything possible to make up for my sheltered youth.
I'm not religious any more but rather "spiritual" in the sense of wide eyed wonder about the universe and ideas, nature, music- rather than the sense of there are invisible beings with magical powers that want something from me.

Some of my hobbies/talents/abilities : I am a voracious reader, I read everything that has words on it, even the shampoo bottle while in the shower. I love books about agriculture, philosophy, religions, sociology, herbs, music, sci fi, languages/cultures, drugs, humor, electronics, etc.

I taught myself to speak Spanish fluently, I know enough Portuguese to read and write some. I have traveled to Mexico many times, to various other countries also.
I enjoy cooking, inventing and experimenting in the Kitchen, eating, gardening, exotic plants, natural entheogens, tropical plants, nature, hiking, walking, camping, swimming.
(organized or team sports bore me senseless)
I am a musician and have played in bands for over 25 years. I play various musical instruments,write songs, sing.
I love a very wide variety of music from bluegrass to to zydeco.

I have been described as the "strong silent type", I don't talk unecessarily, but I can talk for hours to interesting people about interesting things.
If one wanted to tie me down as to my philosophical leanings, I would say that I lean to humanism, I am a pacifist, I hate war and violence, I hate hate.
I am very open minded and accepting of other people as long as they are not a-holes. Actually I am quite amiable, and get along with pretty much anyone anywhere, even if I don't agree with them. My friends range from new agey hippies to conservative Christian and I love them all.
I smoke/drink occasionally, and am looking forward to the eventual legalization of pot (but occasionally partake until then)

I dislike dating, dating websites, singles bars, and the whole meat market mentality.  What or who am I looking for? Someone just like me haha...
seriously, I like girls that are not shallow, intelligent, down to earth, open, warm, good sense of humor (maybe even a weird or bizarre sense of humor)
I prefer bluejeans with dirt stains on the knees rather than tight dress and war paint. Girls that speak their mind and are their own person, that go out of their way to help others, don't hate, don't lie, accepting of people different than herself, creative, deep thinking, etc. 

I live in the North Georgia mountains, and have been here 20 years. Lived all over the Southern USA.

So... If any of this nonsense above rings a bell with you, even just on a friendly level, I'll be happy to hear from you.  :roll:

I'm lucky in that I actually enjoy my job (usually) and since it's both very technical and very physical, it pays well too. Since discovering Permaculture last year I've been really hot to get a house on an acre or so, within commuting distance of my job and I'm saving like crazy to make that happen. I'm hoping to get my place within 18 months or so and then sell this paid off condo and knock the house mortgage to zero. I've lived debt free since I paid off this condo last November and it's awesome. I don't ever want to be in debt again (unless it's very short term debt).
Now that I'm in my mid 40's, the (shall we say) reproductive urge has decreased dramatically but that doesn't mean I'd say no to a nice woman if she happened along. If you think I'm your kind of guy, feel free to contact me. My primary idea though is to create a cool suburban homestead and have a few roommates who are into Permaculture.
My ideal thought is to have a 4 bedroom place and pickup 3 roommates. I don't have any illusion (or desire) of recreating a 1960's free love thing but I would like a balance in the male to female energy in the house. I don't want the place to end up feeling either like a frat house or a lifetime network reality TV show. I'd also like to have enough room to extend hospitality to the occasional permaculture guest who happened to be in town for whatever reason. Wouldn't that be just awesome? And once I'm trained up, the home could be a bridge, allowing city types who are interested in permaculture to get a little experience. I have no illusions about my own current knowledge though, so I'll probably hire an expert to help me come up with a design for the place (& possibly even help me locate the place when I'm ready to buy it).
I have the beginnings of a plan on how to handle the tasks that a household needs to get done, without anyone feeling like they're getting a raw deal. The plan involves a labor for rent swap at a decent wage and have the roommates select what jobs they want to do, probably using a PC. If someone wants to put in more time they pay less but if someone makes a good wage and wants to do less, they'd pay more. I hope this system will help avoid the horror that a roommate situation sometimes has. One roommate likes things clean, so they clean for a few weeks, then they start feeling taken advantage of and they stop. Then the place turns into a factory farm pig sty. I've experienced that particular roommate problem in the past. Anyway, if a particular job is undesirable and doesn't get selected, I want the PC to automatically increase the compensation until someone picks it (or I pick it myself, since I plan to be part of the system).
I want part of the rental income to go for staple food items (like wheat, cooking oil, ect) although technically the roommates would be responsible for buying their own food. And whatever is produced and preserved on site would be for our use. The goal is to have a household that provides a pleasant and inexpensive domestic life to those who live there, and my chief compensation will be help in maintaining and improving the place, and enough cash to cover the tax, building maintenance and build an emergency fund just in case of unplanned expenses.
Do you think there's a market for this sort of arrangement? I want to find out before I buy the place. I'd feel pretty silly living in a big house all by myself. :oops:

Accept that this time that you live as a monk,

Over on the dry side. It's spring of course and I'm having a blast seeing my food forest begin to take shape. I did some major excavating this weekend for hugel bed building. About half an acre has been transformed. Now to fill in the trenches with old wood, straw and more. The trees should start arriving next week.

I would love to be sharing garden, critters and home with a happy man who shares my passion for permaculture.

I'm a 51 yo woman, 5'10", happy and healthy. Love to backpack, dance and grow my own food. Planning to build a tiny house with straw bale this summer. I'm hoping to turn it into a group learning project... that's what you call it when you ask all your friends to come help!

Life is good but could be even better, don't you think? Drop a line if you feel like it.
cheers,

I am a 29 year old fellow from the hills of eastern Kentucky.  In 4 weeks I get to return home, as I have been working/living out of the area for 6 months, and finally start my dream of homesteading.  I have 56 acres of land in the hills where I am going to build a cabin, start gardening, and slowly begin the process of being self-sustaining. 

I am not an environmentalist or anything like that, just somebody who prefers a quieter, simpler life.  My goals with being self-sufficient are to be off-grid where I have no utility bills and as little outside expenses as possible.  Also I'm not a religious person, so I am looking for someone who isn't overly so themselves.

My aging father retired recently and will take part in the process with me and live on the land.  He is a vast font of knowledge on homesteading and I intend to learn everything he knows while he is still around.  And eventually I intend to take care of him when he can no longer do so himself. 


There is far too much for me to say here, but that I am looking for someone who wants to lvie a simple homesteading life, homeschool the children we would have together, and worry more about family and friends instead of about spending money and having material things. 

Age isn't so much an issue except to keep in mind I intend to start a family with someone and build a strong relationship with a special woman over our lifetime. 

Anyway, that's about all I know right now.  ]]> http://www.permies.com/forums/posts/preList/7396/66554 http://www.permies.com/forums/posts/preList/7396/66554

Additional interests & studies: ancient civilizations, history (not war), growing & preserving food, creating, metaphysics, spirit

Don't care much about the system, politics, climbing success ladders, religion, being drugged out & numbed down

Simple life with focus on nature. Living in the wild.  Do not deny what is pure, raw, wild and free....it may be the best of you.

If interested send me a post and i'll direct you to my website...........  peace]]> http://www.permies.com/forums/posts/preList/6403/56394 http://www.permies.com/forums/posts/preList/6403/56394 I also like computers and dabble in film editing and 3D modeling.
I'm multi-faceted, at times a philosopher, other times a child. Sometimes I can be a bit of a geek, other times I'm talking to the crows and communing with nature.

I'm looking for a woman who enjoys this site. Someone who can go a little tribal and is patient and open minded.
I think a strong partnership could make this homesteading thing so much more enjoyable.
