My family and I live on our small off grid homestead with a small subsistence herd of sheep. Once all lambs are born and mobile and grass is growing again we will be moving around more again.
I am open to visitors or "helpers" who want a super rural place to camp for a while. We may be acquiring other property and if that happens my place may be for rent then for someone that isn't a total joker.
We don't drink, do drugs or use technology heavy. We have a four year old who doesn't see screens besides in civilization. If you are passing by we could meet in town and go from there. Going out on a limb here.

I'm currently in Pennsylvania and interested. I am vegan so, I'm not down with slaughtering animals, but if there is some way I can help out that aligns with my values, I would love to help out.

Hi! I'm not looking for housing necessarily but I'll be moving to a job with housing in Coudersport PA for the summer. Have over 5 years of farming experience, grew up on a homestead with sheep, etc. Always looking to meet new cool people though and I love Kane (lived there last summer) and the Allegheny National Forest. Feel free to PM if you want to connect.

Well Hurin we try to grow a fair amount but definitely not enough to subsist. We forage a lot too along with dumpstering in the next town over sometimes. The only store in town gives us throwaway produce every week and we buy organic produce.
We are open to a hand with wood and any other projects. We are actually moving more remote and will have plenty there to do as well, walking the herd a lot more probably because there are way more woods and it is still off grid.
We don't actually slaughter all that much but do milk all summer into fall. Pick up more roadkill than anything the last 6 months.

Also wanted to say Hurin that the death of an animal, especially at my hands is no small deal nor do I get any enjoyment out of it as much as I do watching them live and roam and be free. We do things a lot different than most people with our intensive animal human relationships.
To take a life is a major thing and I often experience deep sadness and joy.
Industrial food is no sustainable thing but my animals absolutely are. I can step from our culture with them in ways. I couldn't live a semi sustainable life off grid using my body, to excess at times, only on store bought or even homegrown vegetables.
I am not anti vegan, I myself was somewhat of one and that was after I stopped hunting for a bit.
