Desired locations
Looking for homestead to rent for me (42) and my 2 daughters (19 and 15)
Plan
I have been gardening for 3 years and raising chickens for one year. I own undeveloped property but have been living with friends until I can afford to build my own house. My plans are to create a homestead where my daughters and I can accommodate our disabilities while creating food security for ourselves. My main focus of learning has been permaculture practices, to live in harmony with nature.
Desired infrastructure
Equipment and infrastructure details
We need a wheelchair accessible house to live in with enough yard space for a garden and chickens.
Preferred type of opportunity
Opportunity details
My ideal opportunity would be a small home on someone's homestead where I can assist with their livestock and crops in exchange for reduced rent. The main thing we need is adequate housing with room for our animals and gardening.
