Hi Sevina. Thank you so much for the suggestions. This is one of the more difficult parts and we need all the help we can get. It is much appreciated!

I apologize if you have tried this idea already and I haven’t read it here, but have you tried contacting the larger media outlets to feature your story? I bet there are many specific local media who could would love to hear about your efforts to live simply and reduce your carbon footprint. Even sources like parenting magazines/newspapers and those aimed at retiring seniors would find it interesting. Maybe contact local libraries and community centers, volunteering to host 30-60 minute discussions about your journey so that others may learn and follow. What about tracking down local weekend farmers’ markets where you can pass out a flyer about what you’re doing (or advertise a local discussion that you host), along with an inquiry about land rental opportunities. Any way you can get the word out can drum up some leads on the property you seek.

we will be having a solar contractor design and help install our solar system. for greywater we will install a branched drain system that will empty out our greywater to multiple mulch basins, and our water will come from two large water storage tanks.

Hi Guys! Like what you are doing here! I am curious about you exterior wood siding. It looks to be a rainscreen installation? Cedar boards? Did you used exposed or hidden fasteners? Looks awesome!
