Buck Rock
Laytonville, California,
United States
 We are a married couple (both 37) with a one-year-old son homesteading on 80 beautiful acres outside Laytonville, California. We keep a one-acre vegetable garden, fruit orchards, grapes, berries, chickens, fish, and bees. We have a spring, creeks, and ponds. Our focus is primarily growing and preserving food as a subsistence farm. This is our full-time work. We don’t watch much TV (just movies); we are loco-omnivores who enjoy eating together, fermenting, listening to music, reading, working hard, and engaging in permaculture, green building, and herbalism. We are actively finding ways to get off the grid, to provide for ourselves, and to live with the cycles of the seasons. We are seeking creative ways to generate income from the land. We are nature-worshipping pagan agrarians with a bent for practical self-sufficiency.
Ideally, we are looking for a family who want to put down roots and focus on this piece of land with us. Single folks are also welcome! We hope to find people who are ready to grow their food, to care for their water, and to live with their relatives in community. Qualities we seek include groundedness, commitment to this lifestyle, humor, good and easy communication, and low-drama factor. You know who you are!
