As wonderful as this small piece of land has been we are currently at, we have out grown it (picture is not our place, but places are what we are looking for). We have learned a great deal about living near the coast and living on the north side of a mountain and are thankful for the experience. BUT….
We are ready to move on and continue growing. The community land seems to be trying to manifest in a few places with land owners, lawyers and community members doing their best. However, there is not a place to call home yet and we need a place to live where we can be more self-sustaining…more sustainable! We need to continue growing Open Pollinated vegetables and grafting heirloom fruit trees, but on a bit large scale than the 1/4 acre we currently have. The need to continue breeding the perfect dual purpose chicken who lays well, but makes a tasty meal. More land so that we may grow our own chicken food and not have to buy GMO contaminated 
feed from the feed store.
We need an old barn to hang seed to dry, corn for the winter and a place for the new dairy goat we having been dying to get. We want to try our hands at goat cheese and share the bounty with our friends. Our heritage turkeys need a place for new babies (sure to come next spring) to graze on green pastures. Our honey bees need fields of wildflowers to gather nectar in for that liquid gold they make. Land is needed for us to raise enough fresh food for us and our neighbors in the challenging times ahead.
We are asking everyone we know! Maybe you know of someone who has old farm land sitting fallow. Some great sunny space populated with old barns that are crying out for new life. A farmer ready to retire or someone who just inherited such a place and doesn’t know what to do with it, but knows we don’t need anymore track housing. I just read a book of such a retiring organic grower in Maine. He was complaining about no new blood to take over in his footsteps and what he wouldn’t give to see his life’s work not go fallow. I would love to partner with someone like this, but I don’t want to move to Maine! No, I would like to 
stay here in California if ya don’t mind!
So I’m putting it out here! I learned long ago I can’t get what I want if I don’t ask for it. So I’m asking. If ya don’t mind the crow of a rooster waking you in the morning, the taste of fresh eggs for breakfast or the taste of homegrown honey on your bisquits let us know! We don’t mind sharing in the hard work or the good times. In fact some of the best times I remember were making sure my grandparents had enough wood to last them for the winter. Yeah, it was hard work, but it was from my grandfather that I learned how to use an axe. At a young age I was instilled with love, knowledge and the confidence that I could take care of not only myself, but others. We have trying times ahead and during these times I know with a lot of hard work, love and paitients we will be just fine. However, in order to take care of all the above mentioned we need land. So, if ya know of a little old farmstead for lease let us know! You’ll be glad ya did!
