“ Thanks everyone for coming out and brainstorming. We came up with a lot of exciting plans. First we woke up a guest in the winter car shelter. Then we enjoyed the neighbor's tree which was abundant with persimmons "blinging" against the blue sky. We sat and talked goals articulation.. many ideas were tossed about. I am starting with a first step which is: to gather 4 or so garden members to pay a small fee to use the space and then a part time live-in co-manager to pay small sub-rental fee. The house is small and the indoor space will be shared. Therefore maybe the co-manager has a more private apt somewhere else. Once rent is taken care of we can be a small part of larger projects. I do not own the house and garden so all projects/farming/teaching will be transferable. (IE: Best to not invest in putting in cisterns or expensive structures.) Have a great thanksgiving all!
