Finally, a relevant post. I am in the midst of planning a summer adventure! Just like the title of my blog... watch out communities , here we come!
Here is my brief letter I am sending out to farms...
Adventure with a purpose (or 2)
My name is Leslie. I have an 8year old daughter named Ama and we are ready to go on another adventure. We have two objectives in mind.
to visit farm communities in the hopes to find a great match for a long term commitment
to learn more hands on skills ( a sort of unschooling summer trip)
We have lived and worked in other communities such as Lost Valley in Oregon and the Ecohood in Phoenix. We have experience teaching permaculture classes... yes, Ama has helped her dad teach the backyard chicken classes for the Phoenix Permaculture Guild! I developed and taught a class called “Kids in Community” for the PDC in Phoenix and at Lost Valley. I also have experience Wwoofing on a blueberry farm, where I learned everything from mulching, to picking, to packing and selling at the Newport farmers market.
We would like to visit for a few days in July or August.
Please let me know your availability, and I will let you know more specific times when my plan comes together more.
Thank you!
Leslie and Ama

by the way... YAY I am taking 2 months off to explore!
I have 2 months to visit everyone from Bellingham down to Sacramento and maybe even all the way to phx --that might take some convincing in 120 degree heat-- but, go ahead and convince me! If you want us to visit, let me know soon, so I can plan it in.
also, if you know any cool communities or farms for us to visit, let me know, or pass on my letter to them.
thank you!
hope to see you soon!
