And will more people with land, small holdings, small farms be sharing their resources?
I've been mulling over this for a few weeks now. I have some spare land in a beautiful woodland setting, very secluded, private water supply, unlimited seasoned wood, gardens, room for growing food etc, share of my home grown food, eggs, chance to keep poultry, use of outdoor oven and fire pit. I was thinking of offering it in return for some help around the garden, building raised beds, getting more poly tunnels going. There's decent 4G in the area, so this would suit someone working online.
Does anyone think there's a need for this? And is asking for 1 day per week of outdoors help seem a reasonable exchange? I don't want rent! Will more people be seeking alternatives to normal housing? Perhaps living in converted vans, caravans and shepherd huts. Pros and Cons?
Total respect to you hope you find some genuine people to join in , asking for help on the land i would think would be more than fair good luck
