Hi, Folks. We have an amazing opportunity to bring one of the finest human beings I know to our region - and he's a terrific permaculture teacher and so much more. Selfishly, I hope he'll find a home within a few hours of me since I don't have a farm to offer him but I need to be unselfish and try to help my friend do what's best for him. I'd be glad to tell you more about what I know of Charles.
Here's his email from another list: <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/earthactivist/conversations/topics/4025 ;_ylc=X3oDMTJxZTdxOWFwBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE1BGdycElkAzM0NTU0NDYEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MD gwODY2BG1zZ0lkAzQwMjUEc2VjA2Rtc2cEc2xrA3Ztc2cEc3RpbWUDMTQ3MDgxMzg0OQ--> Sheep and Shepherd looking for a home Tue Aug 9, 2016 9:51 pm (PDT) . Posted by: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=Re%3A%20Sheep%20and%20Shepherd%20looking%20 for%20a%20home> "charles Williams" whoa9 *Sheep and Shepherd looking for a home* Dear Friends After 5 years of Managing Golden Rabbit Ranch in California I will be moving to the East coast!This is a very exciting move for me as I will be returning to a bioregion that I dearly love.I am now looking for a place and situation that I can bring my skills in Permaculture, country living and interest in restorative agriculture. Minimally, I am looking for a place where I can bring a few sheep as a seed for another grazing operation. I would need a place to stay, enough grass to feed about 10 sheep (5-10 acres of grass) and access to water source. Ideally, I would find a place with housing for me, grass for my flock, some winter shelter for the sheep. If I were truly fortunate there would be some working at the place I move to. What I will bring with me: - 10 sheep - Fencing - Related livestock equipment - Tools for carpentry, plumbing and electrical work - A wealth of knowledge and experience. The Flock I have are registered Katahdin Hair Sheep of the highest quality. I have bread my stock to be RR and immune to scrapies, to have a high parasite resistance, good feet, long bodies, sturdy legs, and to be good foragers able to fatten on rugged low quality pasture. As many of you know I have been teaching and practising Permaculture for the past 15 years. A little more about me: I am a native Midwesterner who went to college in Vermont at Sterling College. I have Run Golden Rabbit Ranch in California for the past 5 years, prior to that I was the land manager at Diana's Grove in Missouri and before that directed Farm & Wildernesses boys summer camp, Timberlake, in Vermont. I have also run wilderness programs, managed interns and apprentices, planted food forests, developed a community grazing system, built cabins, barns and houses, marched in the streets for justice and facilitated more meeting then I care to count. If all goes will I will be arriving in New England in mid October and would like to have found a place to land my sheep before I leave California in late September. For more information about me, my resume, or references. Please contact me at <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] or call at (828)424-0482.
