ldsfireguy Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) Hi,I'm not entirely sure that this post is in the right place, but here goes...My wife and I own a 200 acre organic farm on the Connecticut River in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. We are interested in developing a cohousing/cofarming farm on the property - organic, probably mostly LDS, etc...Are there any LDS on this group that may be interested in organic cooperative farming in Vermont? Farming experience or education would be great, but a strong desire to be on the land and to be self-sufficient, and a willingness to work hard are of prime importance.I would love to correspond with anyone, even if this is not exactly right for them, if they have any ideas or thoughts on the idea. Also, if you are not quite interested, but know of someone else who might be, please forward.Thanks!Scott Edited July 20, 2010 by pam Please do not post email address publically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mirancs8 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 me me me! Ow darn you're in Vermont. I would prefer Utah Seriously that is such a great idea. I do hope it works for you. I've been interested in that for years. Living in PA I have an Amish acquaintance and it was just amazing to see a group working so hard together and living off of the land. It was like one large family. The worshiped, worked and socialized together it was beautiful. I wish you lots of luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshac Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I really tried hard to come up with a Mormon fundamentalist compound joke, but failed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They provide the grub and the militia provides the protection when the US collapses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moksha Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I really tried hard to come up with a Mormon fundamentalist compound joke, but failed.... Really? I would have thought a rutabaga joke would be more in order since it is a farm and everything. When I think of Vermont, I think of all that maple syrup being hoarded up there in Canada. Well, its time to liberate some to this board! Preferably not a Fast Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingnut Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Did I forget to mention my three wives?:)Well, of all New Englanders, those from Vermont typically are the weirdest.(With the possible exception of those who live in Aroostook County, ME.)

gabelpa Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Sounds like fun, but only if you're willing to pay moving expenses for me, my wife, and 3 kids. We live in Scotland so it'll be expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
