[Scpg] Permaculture Opportunity in SW Wisconsin

[Joan Stevens]

Passing this on:
 
Last year, with two other couples, we bought 120 acres of land in the
Driftless Area (nonglaciated) of SW Wisconsin, to create a
permaculture farm community for 6 households. It turns out that we
should have known our partners better.... The partnership is now
dissolving and the land will be sold through a realtor, unless we can
find people interested in buying out the other two couples who now
want to quit the project.

The property is ideal for this kind of project. It includes wooded
slopes, gentle open slopes, wetland and rich bottomland with up to 4
feet of topsoil. There is a large south-facing coulee with a
springfed stream that is a perfect spot for growing things watered by
natural gravity flow. There are two other springs on the property,
as well.

We've had local permaculture teacher Mark Shepard walk the land with
us a couple of times to discuss it, and will bring him in to advise
us if we get the project going.

The area is not only beautiful, but also home to many other
"like-minded" people who are growing food organically, living in
simple green homes (many off-grid), sending their kids to the Waldorf
school or homeschooling. ... 

If you know anyone who would be seriously interested, please pass this
along to them? Time is of the essence. (We will gladly provide
information about ourselves, including references.) We also welcome
suggestions re how to network to find partners.

Also, I host some free e-lists sent blind copy that anyone is welcome
to join. The topics include:
- sustainable living/gardening
- Peak oil & energy issues
- socioeconomic/ political/ philosophical
- natural wellness 
- EMR/EMF (Health effects, what to do to protect yourself. Also see
www.LifeEnergies. com/)
- environment
