We live North of Bellingham 8 miles on 10 acres of land surrounded by cow fields and forest. It is very quiet here and we have a beautiful view of the mountains. We are interested in building community with the people who live on the land. We would like to have a monthly meal and a quarterly work party (these work parties tend to concentrate spring through Fall) to tend the land we live on. We see these activities as a way to build a homestead community together.
We enjoy gardening, cooking, camping, being outside and working on the land where we live, camp fires, visiting family, using the resources we have at hand to nourish ourselves and the land. We are interested in meeting people who are practicing a substance free lifestyle.
There are two tiny house spots on the property one of the sites is full. The sites are about 75 ft apart and 300 ft from the main house.
Both sites have a large three walled shed for storage
Ask about pets. We need pets to be very well behaved.

These photos are current. There is a gravel road and space to park on. The grass is hiding the gravel. There are some items left over from our previous renter (metal shed and and small greenhouse). We plan to move them and clean out the shed to start fresh. There is one photo showing the distance between the tiny house rental spaces.
