I have a dream that I would love to make happen.
I am a Christian, a wife and a mother to two boys.
I have experienced darkness most of my life until I found Jesus, and discovered that he is absolutely the way, the truth and the life. I want to bring light into people’s lives and show them that there is another way. Not in a pushy, evangelical way, I just want to open a space and invite people to be apart of it, all people from all walks of life. I am getting ahead of myself, here is a little bit of information about me. I currently live as a caretaker and I am very lucky to have a home to live in, however I have a dream that I want to make a reality and the only thing stopping me is money. I have no spare money that I can put away, it all goes month to month. I home educate my boys so I work my business around my sons (I spin and dye wool for knitting)
I want to buy a piece of land and a little home/base. I want to live a natural, self-sufficient lifestyle. I want to raise my own animals and grow all my own food. I want to pass this on to the next generation, and the next.
I want to open this space up to a community to teach people these old forgotten skills. How to grow food, how to forage food, how to raise animals for food/ wool ect. How to make clothing, tools etc.
I believe we are so far removed from how we were designed to live that we now live in a society where everyone is depressed but they don’t know why.
I am also a beekeeper and want to be able to teach people this too. Ways of living naturally and in harmony with the earth.
It will be accessible to all people from all backgrounds regardless of money. I want people to have a space to come and grow veg, look after animals etc and work towards things as a community. Beekeeping workshops, all kinds of things. For example, If a family want to come for a holiday but have no money, they can come and help out in exchange etc.
I want to help people struggling with their mental health that just don’t have access to natural spaces to have a place to come and find purpose, whether that’s looking after animals, growing food, or helping with workshops etc.
The little farm will be open for families who have children with disabilities/ issues to come and spend time with the animals. I would run it as non-profit charity and possibly open a farm shop/ artist/ maker space to keep an income coming in. I want to make this world a better place. Thank you for reading this, if you have got this far.
