I am Marlena (50yo) and Tim is 61 years young. We live on 11 acres on the NM/AZ border. We raise sheep, chickens, rabbits, turkeys, six dogs, and three cats. Our dogs are very important to us on our homestead, and we are not certain they would be open to have other dogs on the property. We would love to share our space with other like minded folk. We have been WWOOF hosts (and Marlena was also a WWOOFer in 2012.)
We live at 7500’ in a tiny “community” of 150 people that all mostly keep to themselves. (Just to be clear, our “community” of 150 people live in our geographical AREA or NEIGHBORHOOD where we live – the 150 people are not formed as an intentional community, I’m sorry for the confusion!) We are off-grid with on-grid and generator backup, we catch our water from rain and snowfall.  Our diet consists of primarily carnivore diet – meat and animal products for health reasons.
We are offering an unfurnished 2 bedroom, 1 bath single-wide mobile home that has power, water, hot water and a wood-burning stove for heat. We own a business that is at another location that requires a lot of my time, and time away from our property. We are looking for others that enjoy the benefits of raising your own meat, eggs and access to goat and sheep milk. The more experience you have with livestock, the better! We are willing to teach you how to milk and tend to animals if you are unfamiliar.
Feel free to contact us for more information and pictures. We are listed across several sites including Permies and WWOOF.
We aim to be mostly self sufficient. We are looking for others that want to rely less and less on provisions from outside sources.
