There is a community called "wilder waters",south of Jay. What does the future hold here, maybe communal living will speak to my land co-operator as he ages but i quit holding my breath so looking for options/gumption!

Hi Sarah!

I'm looking in PA to be close to my grandchildren. Where is your shared 93 acres located and would they like another person? I am just starting out on this Journey, and I am going to be 64  with lots of  life and a little farm experience. I do fiber arts (punch needle rugs and crochet) have a sewing machine, seeds, garden and soil building experience, and long time Permaculture enthusiast with a few webinars under my belt along with a multitude of books on earthbuilding, rocket mass heaters/stoves/permaculture, gardening. I'm good to work from about 6am to noon..then I might poop out depending on what the project is. LOL

Would love to be with other older folk living this way of life too, if anyone knows of such a place.

Thanks!
Margie

Super interesting as it deals with what is happening in the world and what’s coming next.
It’ll get you fired up to Permie MORE!"  

Not sure how this "quote and reply" thing works, but I love Penny Kelly and her books and classes. Another book that Permies might like is "The Elves Of Lily Hill Farm" also by Penny Kelly....a little entree into cooperative gardening with Nature Spirits..fascinating.

Hi Lynne!

Thank you for your reply, and if you would like to talk more about it, please email me,  morningmargiestar@aol.com

It's either Vermont, or Hawaii...

Blessings!

Thank you for the freebie!!!

Sonya....your dream is beautiful.

I like option #2!

Thanks for all this information on cookware! I had no idea about carbon steel, and will be looking into a purchase someday.
Just before high school graduation (1976), a door to door saleswoman sold me on "Temp Tone" stainless steel cookware, that was guaranteed for life. Anyone remember this?
I still have the cookware, minus some handles (and hopefully not chromium poisoning)  and 2 cast iron pans, one skillet is a10.5 inch Wagner Ware, the other is an 8 inch cast calphalon (whatever that is).
I thought I was doing a decent job of avoiding the "not so good for you" cookware.
Thanks for the lesson !!!
