[before_listing id=406 images= youtube=null] Going Off-Grid…currently a once thriving tobacco farm that we’re renovating (slowly) in need of help in the gardens and with the animals in exchange for a place to live and some food…a going commune…but am done with those under 25 who come and then do little if anything…need Doers not dreamers and talkers…beautiful area among the amish farms of Virginia’s southern Piedmont between Richmond and Raleigh…have a large beautiful but as yet unfinished cabin…a sharecropper’s shack…a pop-up trailer…and an old house used mainly for storage…John (GoldMiningGuy) is renovating a shorty school bus as living acommodations…sandra the farm owner offering a place to live and some food in exchange for 15 solid hours in the gardens helping with specialty crops that she has a buyer for…just not the help to get it done this year….and some help feeding and watering Sicilian Donkeys and chickens and Penny the rescue horse. Going off-grid but still has phone and internet and limited electricity…an RVer with a smaller rig would be welcome. Prefer nobody under 25 as they all drift off to the city lights and don’t get it when it comes time to get up early and work in the gardens for a couple hours a day! She also has little side businesses on eBay and etsy and flea market selling. [landbuddy_listing id=406 youtube=null]

Hello. I am a recently separated 50 year old man, and it’s time to reset and start anew. I have been living in my shop, working, and paying for bills for a home I no longer live in and a truck I no longer drive. The last time I needed to start over, I spent a year at a monastery then moved to a horse farm. That is the closest I’ve been to God and I need to find myself, away from the world again. I was looking for long term work exchange on a farm and your ad is intriguing. I am used to running my own small business and love to work, so I know I would be an asset to your farm. My wife and I have owned and operated small thrift, collectible and antique shops for almost 15 years. Currently, I make most of my money on eBay. I want, need a simpler way of life do I may study, write, commune with nature, heal. I do not have an r.v. and I plan to leave everything with my wife, so I would set up a tent with tarps for a living space, but electric and internet would be wonderful. I will bring enough money for a few months, but will need to work on line after that. Please contact me at your earliest convenience as I plan to move within the next few weeks. Thanks for your consideration and God bless. John 8434240027

Looking to join a commune. Willing to buy chainsaws, wood, solar panels, .. help with construction and lots of cool ideas. I have a 5 year agreement with the government that pays for half my rent.. when that is done, i will have to move. I could move sooner if you’re very interested. I have social security disability income of 715/month.. which i’m more than happy to chip into the community for building, etc. I have a great idea on how to make some money too… but it requires lots of solar power and a few devices. Ok, only problem i have, is that i’m overweight… but i’m planning to work my ass off every day.. so if you’re interested let me know.

I’m about to be 43. I’ve been looking for a place like this. I have a dog. He goes where I go. I have had no intimate relationships for 2 1/2 years. I feel that it complicates my destiny. I would really like to meet with you and see what you may offer me. I work hard already. I’m a stevedore at a port. I am a physically strong woman that likes to get things done. When work is done, I love to relax. Take in my environment. Just breathe a little.

Sandra Appleby
I’m a 43 yr. old very unhappily married to an alcoholic for ten years with for 20 and I also go to a methedon clinic because I am an opiod addict not by choice , but by doctor ,so I’m going to clinic to get off them. I’ve been thinking how I need change and my boy’s are older and of age to be on own, so now would be the best time to do something like joining a commune or some type of community living so I can meet new people and experience new things. I was born in Boston and moved to Maine when I was fourteen. I’ve had a rough life that I won’t get into right now but I need change and I love to work as a team and I have an awesome green thumb and love to grow things. I’m not afraid of hard work either. I really think I would love that life style.

I am A 46 year old male that has done carpentry work for the last 25 years, and I just had it with the way things are in the world and am looking to find the a place that I can have real friends. Ones that care about me and my abilities, not how much money I have and what I can do for them with said money. I love doing my job, I love building and remodeling anything, I love to get dirty and be tired at the end of the day, after a good day’s work. All my joy comes from being able to stand back at the end of the day and say, I did that. And all my friends helped. Please let me know more about what it is you’re doing, and what kind of people you are. I’m from central PA. so I am not far from you, maybe a 6 hour drive. I can’t wait for a response. Thanks.
Esther
I’m 23, so I suppose I’m younger than you’d prefer. However, I’ve been through a lot in my life and am seeking a new start away from the chaos of societal expectations for high achievement. I’m an experienced outdoors woman and dedicate myself to any task set before me that I perceive to be of value. I am open minded, accepting, and committed. I do not trust money and success, because they cannot be depended upon for happiness. That is why I’m searching out a simpler way to live. I value creativity and free thinking, and am excellent at finding creative solutions to problems. I have success in every job I’ve ever had but I struggle to find joy and meaning in most areas of life that are the focus of people around me. I seek freedom. I seek simplicity. I seek acceptance. I seek myself.

Marvin
How can i join the community
Jewel
Wow this sounds exactly like what I’ve been looking for. As an Empath and practicing energy healer I find the modern world to be toxic and overwhelming. I have always felt like I was born in the wrong Era because communal living is the only thing that seems natural to me even though modern society doesn’t seem to agree. I would love any information about the community. For example is there a religious community or is there a focus on something else? How would one go about asking to join and what is expected of membersome?
Joshua
i am broken need to be healed not of the body but the mind i draw disability for mental reasons ptsd i need a community to help me heal i would love to know more im marred with 4 kids and i will have to leave them behind to go on my own walk of life the dont get me anymore theres alot going on i just want a simpler life
Khristal
Hi sandra . I have some information for you. I stayed on your commune at one time and left a family air loom there. It was left in the old house where the makeshift dog kennel was built at the entrance of the house. Behind the house was the outhouse and the forge we started. Please get back to me asap so I can finance the return of the airloom. Thank you.

bryan
hello,
my name is bryan. and to be honest, i really do not know how to proceed, so i am just going to put it all out there, and hope for the best. i am a 53 yo male. 13 years ago, on december 23rd i lost my wife and two daughters in a freak auto accident. since then, i am ashamed to say, i have never really been able to get past it. i know it has been along time, but i think about it everyday many times. i have thrown myself into work, have found no purpose there, money and pocessions have lost their meaning. i work only to aid in not thinking, to no avail. shortly after the accident i isolated myself from all friends and family. fell into a terrible depression that has lasted all these years. people come into my life, and soon leave it as they found it. about a year ago i gave up on ever finding anything worth having, and walked away from everything. have been moving around this country since. taking what work i can find to shelter and feed myself, living in motels, or in my truck. i have found a freedom i did not know existed, but no happiness, or contentment. recently i met a fellow, who i really found intruiging. we talked about the prepper movement, living off the land, free of all ties to society. which brought me to thinking about off-grid living and all those who have had the courage to chase their dreams. by the way, i really admire all of you who know what you wanty and willing to achieve it.
these past few months i have been researching communities off grid. have found many that want new people, but they always talk about others wanting in, who’s lives are in shambles, and want nothing to do with them. that pretty well describes me and my life. but i have finally decided to reach out and see if there is one who would have me.
i will now tell you a little of what i am looking/hoping to find. i want purpose, the ability to contribute, to feel that i have something to offer others, and in return, find some selfworth.
what i have to offer: i was raised living off the land, growing and raising our own food. i have only worked the remodel industry. have ,30+ years experience. skills in all phases of construction. i am reasonably intelligent, well educated, but not self decieved, willing to take direction, be a team player. i am not a druggie nor a drunk, however, i do drink on occassion, but rarely get drunk.
in closing, i figure i have about 20 years left in my life. and those years i offer to you to help build your dream, in hopes of finding something that resembles happiness, or purpose. and i ask you, would you be willing to accept into your life, your dream. in return maybe thru you and your community, i may find what i seek.
my apologies for this post being long and drawn out. but i have thought long and hard as to what i wanted to say to you. have been at this for several hours now. thank you for your time in reading this far.
sincerely, Bryan
Tina
My boyfriend and I have been stoking up on things when we can for the last year. We are look for a place to work for our rent. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Tina & Elijah

Hello,
My name is Jared and I am a hard working young man with quite a few talents and would love to join in the fun. I am a master house painter with over ten years experience at 60 to 80 hours a week, also much experience with roofing, drywall, window glazing and many other home renovation skills. I have two years education in automotive systems technology and I am self trained with computer daignostics and small engine repair. I am rusty with my gardening skills but have spent a lot of time in the garden and I learn very quickly. I also study and cultivate shitakes, button caps, lions mane, and oyster mushrooms. I have studied the off grid lifestyle and think I may be helpful with maintenance of power, irrigation and other off grid equiptment. I look forward to hearing from you if I fit your description. I am sure I will accomplish more in a day than your expectations.

Are you still seeking members? My fiancee, and I are looking for an off the grid community to raise our son in, he’s 8 months. Please email me if you are seeking families. (we are in our late 20’s)
Austin
Hi, my names Austin and I’m just your average Joe from Ohio. I realize you seek people who are over age 25 due to many young people drifting away after joining your community, but I can attest that I am not that guy. I’m 19 years of age and I seek to find an intentional community of like minded individuals that are geared towards self sufficiency and separation from the grid. I am a hardworking individual, I’ve held down 4 jobs since I was 16 with only 2 months of unemployment. If I’m accepted onto your land I fully intend to stay all summer and hopefully get well acquainted with your people and lifestyle.
I’m physically capable to do almost any job thrown at me and I’m an extremely fast learner I have a passion for the preservation of nature and research permaculture/organic gardening techniques avidly. If you’re interested in making use of a hard working dude that has many potential years of devotion ahead of him, please reply to me at outoftune92@yahoo.com
I will prove you wrong about the younger generation! Accept me into your community and I will pour my life into it.

Hi there,
My fiance and I are selling our home and wanting to relocate to an off grid community. My fiance has a degree in Recreation and Wildlife Management and a minor in biology. To say is he good with plants and animals is an understatement. I am an artist and enjoy the outdoors as I grew up in the Appalachian mountains. I would love more information on how we can become a part of your community and get involved.

I am interested in this project. Former military and just tired of the “real world.”

Doc,
It’s no different than any of the thousands of listings on the ic.org website where all intentional communities are listed OR the agricultural websites that pair thousands of agricultural interns with farms like HelpX.net or wwoof….huge sites…all work the same way…are you just not familiar with any of these sites or programs whether agricultural or communities?? Check them out.
Doc
You sound like you are starting a labor camp to me.

I’d like to come down and try it for a while. I’m 50 and have some field work experience. I don’t mind long hours of hard work but I’m not into being pressured to do things more quickly than I’m able. If you are patient with my learning curve, perhaps I could come and help out.
abbiegrrl
Hi. My husband and I are intrigued by the community you are establishing, and we’d like more info if possible…
Thanks!
