I am looking for a core group to buy a farm ( focusing on Virginia/mid Atlantic for growing season/rain fall rates/water available). Ideally I would like to have myself and 2 or??others with like resources for the project. $50-$150 k down (each) to pay off the parcel up front.All of us will need to have the financial ability to bring the property up to snuff and the project to fruition with minimal additional outlay.. I am looking for something to do and work with some structures and land. Ideally, the property will be reasonably priced and need some TLC. My goal is (as always) to use my skills and drive to soak in the necessary sweat equity to acquire value for $. In this market we may be able to find something that needs minimal initial work, that would obviously be desirable.
I have recently sold a resort hostel/motel on a popular beach that was my bread, butter and breakfast for 15 years. I seriously would like to get my hands dirty again and feed some animals, put up some fence and grow some stuff to eat with some cool,solid people.I am a mindful, grounded person, not religious
I am looking for individuals who have some skills and ideas and have realized some of their goals and dreams and would like to get started as partners for some peace of mind on a parcel of land!
Let me know a bit about yourself and if this resonates with you.

Primitave, Off-Grid, Under the Radar, High Desert Back Country...That's the Organic Freedom Farm. We have just closed the deal on additional land. We are now a glorious 10 acres! Lots of room and lots to do. If you are a self motivated, non-conformist individual who yearns for true tribal/communal living check out our site.

Seeking others willing to work and learn skills in sustainable simplicity and who have experience to offer in growing food, carpentry, and care for the land to join me in sharing farm operations on a small organic orchard and berry farm in the mountains of N.C.One & 1/2 hr. NE of Asheville. In the spirit of Peter Maurin and Dorothy Day offer hospitality and training in sustainable vocations, agriculture and energy. Housing:Building on other cabin sites or renovation of existing barn or winterizing intern cabin, all without utilites or indoor plumbing as is the case for the main house. Outhouse, outside hot shower, pure mountain creek water, heating and cooking on wood stoves. Lighting from oil lamps and 2 small solar panels. Existing operations can be expanded through continued conversion to permaculture and combined energies for shared vision based on the conviction that the continuation of traditional indigenous knowledge is crucial for planetary survival.
An immediate need is to train someone who is comfortable and responsible with woodstoves, hauling water and caring for 6 chickens, 2 dogs and cats to be here covering for me during the month of January.
