What we do

January 2026

Palm bay, Florida.

Respect for ALL. Harmony. Kindness. Inclusion.
Warm regards.

PLEASE be interested in growing food – fruits – perennial food plants – annual vegetables – food forest – amazing plants and trees

propagating food plants

30 minutes west of the Ocean, I have a 2/1 house on 3/4 acre – with many fruit trees and plants as well as vegetable gardens. I am planting annual vegetables as well as perennial greens and food plants. I also grow nectar plants for pollinators. I just bought a wooded lot next door to protect what little habitat still exists and maintain privacy. I would love to have a few folks assist with building a small accessory house in cement block as a hurricane shelter and an additional residence, as well as, to plant more food forest and enlarge the gardens. I have no debt. I am a lifelong artist – sculptor – painter. Potential exists for an art based enterprise or a food or plant based project.  – Open to discussions! the land and house I now have is mid – east coast Florida – south of the space center 30 miles or so. I am 71, reasonably powerful, strong – spiritual. I – meditate daly and have for 50 and more years, mostly vegetarian, artist, musician, (midi music studio and acoustic – electric instruments available) Art equipment and tools available…. smoke 420 and drink wine. hoping to find folks who could assist in a project and might invest $ and labor for a shared ownership or long term living arrangement. Open to anything – Now, located in a residential neighborhood which has been developed in the last few years leaving little remaining habitat. As a result, lots of animals now live in my wooded lot, raccoons – possums – 1 feral nice cat and 1 feral – you have to be careful – guy – the large back yard is somewhat private and fenced although the very old fence is not doing well, I am planting more bushes and trees to maintain privacy without adding more fence. There are many animals and I provide dry cat food to the raccoons and possums, and I feed the feral cats (2) I provide many available sources of clean fresh water daily.

At age 71 – I am enthusiastic about adding more food. More fruit, more perennial food plants, more color – more flowers of every type – perennials! I am not working very hard on the property – though I trim trees and weed to keep things from out of control – status! I would enjoy an older couple – or woman – or a younger man capable of building,  for the right fit, I will offer eventual partial ownership.

A mile from grocery and other stores and a nice bike path is available. Pizza delivery is available! amenities so far include – 1 – 2/1 house with stained cement floors, wifi, fire stick tv – well water, ac., fruit trees, gardens… – Open to all. Email me – 1 room available and a nice tent. More space as needed.

I just bought a new 2024 Toyota for shared use.

Fruit trees – plants, here now: (not including recently planted trees)
Some are bearing abundantly, some just starting to bear.
2 Grapes, 3 Figs, lots of Dragonfruit, ( I kept count of the dragonfruit production this season almost 200!)   5 Avocados,  10 guavas, longan, lychee, 15 Bananas, 2 Jackfruit, 2 Plum, 3 Mulberry, 15 Loquat, 2 Papaya, Surinam cherry, grumichama cherry, wax jambu, chocolate sapote, passion fruit,
Perennials: Moringa,  Chaya, Guynurma, Katuk, River spinach,  sissoo spinach, new zealand spinach, okinowa spinach, cranberry hibiscus. egyptian spinach, roselle hibiscus…..Help identify and plant more please! I just ordered good king Henry seeds which sound exciting… -I am  growing lots of plants under lights in the garage before they go into the ground.

I am adding color – where I have always concentrated on fruit, vegetables, perennial food plants and nectar producing flowers. Now, I am adding colorful flowers and bushes – adding more visual pleasures.

There is a nice diverse salad available every day of the year.

Florida and this county are generally conservative – I am NOT

Seeking Couples Interested in Long Term Deep Connection & Farming (open to singles)

Description Our  sloped and terraced community farm has far more potential than we have time and energy to use to the fullest. We have been in community for 15 years now, but feeling pulled to the deeper nourishment we find in long-term residents over shorter-term interns.  We seek one to two couples (or super aligned singles) who are interested in conscious connection, intimate conversation, personal growth and healing, regenerative agriculture, and serious about a building a life in community.  Although we hold space and flexibility for shifts in needs, we desire humans who plan to stay for all or part of a season (1-3 months at a minimum), after which we would explore longer-term alignment and relationships.  We MAY also be open to folks wanting to live off-site, as long as we prioritize ample time to explore how we work together before we get too deep. Current Use Heart 2 Heart Farms is a small, forested, 10 acre Permaculture farm nestled in the fertile hills of the Willamette Valley. Between the quaint towns of Newberg and Sherwood, this oasis is in the middle of wine country, just 30 minutes south of Portland, has been an intentional community and teaching facility for over 15 years, hosting a myriad of community outreach, up-cycling, homesteading, and prepping workshops.  Although we have recently slowed substantially, residents should be prepared for both a busy environment, and shared, informal, mixed-use spaces. We are almost completely self-sufficient, producing large varieties of heirloom fruits and vegetables, and we breed, butcher, and sometimes sell heritage chickens, turkeys, rabbits, pigs, goats, sheep, and cattle. We tan hides, carve bone, save seed, occasionally blow glass, throw pottery, create alternative/green energy, dig root cellars, and build constantly. We have three large un/under-utilized areas available: The front hill is a terraced and amended south-facing slope that has LOTS of room and potential. We also have a poultry pasture is 2 acres of partially wooded Douglas Fir, an additional 4 acres of wooded mixed use browsing space and native habitat that’s virtually unused at the moment, two large greenhouses (including one set up aquaponically), and lots of space to expand the orchard and rotational grazing system. Additionally, we have a 20’x40′ healing center and sacred space we use for yoga, massage, reiki, ceremony (including traditional Lakota sweat lodge and grief/trauma work), and make available to local practitioners to offer their services to the community. If you are wanting to connect deeply, work hard, learn and expand your experience base, and participate in a small but established intentional community, shoot us a note and let’s explore. Owner’s Short Term Vision for the Property Our short-term goal is to find/train a few young/new farmers to assist with land stewardship and increase productivity of the existing space to spread out the work/responsibility and assist in overall streamlining and cleanup of the existing farm/operations. Owner’s Long Term Vision for the Property Our long-term vision is to continue to use this space as a teaching and educational facility, expanding the diversity and frequency of events we can host and services we can offer. Over the next few years, we hope to find an a couple interested in learning/independently managing most of the farm production, which will allow us to dig deeper into the training and certification we make available, to include natural building, basic and advanced Permaculture technique and application, beekeeping, horticulture, animal husbandry, food preservation, fermentation, plant identification/natural foraging, and primitive skills. Available Water / Irrigation Extensive rainwater collection on site, as well as a high-flow/capacity well. Soil Type / Quality Sandy loam with great organic matter, good clay content, and established vermiculture and mycorrhizal network. Buildings and Structures Available for Farm Use We have multiple barns and greenhouse space for use, or lease, depending on the particulars of use/situation. Farm Equipment Available for Use We have a skid steer on site, as well as rototiller, chipper, 26′ truck, and pickup trucks for use. Hand tools are also available, depending on the arrangement. Any Restrictions That Could Limit Agricultural Production Creating and supporting natural borders, food forests, and wildlife habitat (and incorporating these into a holistic/natural pest management strategy) is a very high priority to us, so intensive mono-crop/large machine harvesting and/or crops needing spraying/chemicals are not likely a fit on this site. County: Washington Total Acreage: 10 Acreage Available to Landseeker: 5 Current Farming Practices: Organic, Not Certified, Biodynamic, Dry Farming, Season Extension Farming Practices Allowed: Certified Organic, Organic, Not Certified, Biodynamic, Dry Farming, Season Extension Agriculture Types Suitable: Beans, Bees, Berries, Dairy, Fiber Animals, Flowers, Goats, Herbs, Hogs, Mushrooms, Nursery Stock, Nuts, Orchard/Fruit, Pasture, Poultry, Rabbits, Sheep, Vegetables, Vineyard, Other

Join us in the mountains of Western North Carolina

Coweeta Heritage Center/Talking Rock Farm is located in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Coweeta is located in a beautiful and diverse temperate rain forest. It feels very remote here yet we are just 12 miles from Franklin, NC. Winters can be mild. Coweeta is blessed with springs and a stream, pristine forests, and abundant wildlife. Power is provided by a hydro-electric system which is not connected to the grid. An organic garden and trout pond provide healthy food that is also shared with the local community. Hiking, kayaking, and other outdoor activities are just out the back door. Coweeta is looking for others who would like to join together to form an Intentional Community embracing the principles of Voluntary Simplicity. Simply put (no pun intended): We wish “to live simply so that others may simply live.” It is a recognition that nature provides us with valuable services and resources that we can use to enrich our lives. Utilizing local resources, appropriate technology, and working cooperatively, we can discover creative ways to meet our needs as “directly and simply as possible.”. An example of this, in the tradition of many Indigenous People”, is to gather, and use wildcrafted foods as part of our diet. There is great joy in going to nature’s grocery for our sustenance. Voluntary Simplicity is based on the recognition that “very little is needed to live well” and that “abundance is a state of mind.” Living lower on the economic ladder allows us more time and freedom to pursue other life goals: community and social engagement, family time, artistic or intellectual projects, more fulfilling employment, political participation, sustainable living, spiritual exploration, and more. According to the Voluntary Collective, “The grounding assumption of Voluntary Simplicity is that all human beings have the potential to live meaningful, free, happy and infinitely diverse lives while consuming no more than an equitable share of (the world’s) resources.” We affirm the need for a work/life balance, the right to a healthy environment and healthy food, and healthy community relationships supporting a diverse population. It is our responsibility as engineers of a new generation to make the changes that we want to see happen and pass this on to the next generations. We can’t wait for someone else to do this important work. Voluntary Simplicity is a quiet revolution that can change the world. As one person said, “we must be poets of our own lives and of a new generation.” We hope you will join us here at Coweeta or elsewhere on our journey to a healthier and more sustainable future! Temporary housing is available in a 27 foot trailer trailer with attached deck next to a creek while we build additional housing. Your basic living expenses (shelter, basic food items, power and water) are met through our market garden or other fundraising projects that you will participate in. You are expected to contribute a given amount of your time and energy to help grow our community and meet our financial obligations. Possible future plans include establishing a retreat center for healing our earth and each other. Work includes organic gardening, construction projects and other community building activities. Come join Coweeta and learn how to live lightly on the land and enjoy the Earth’s bounty!
