Seeking a mail-order bride for his homestead
Update: This opportunity is now closed!
Back
in the original homesteading days, mail-order brides were a common
feature on the frontier, and our movie-star neighbor
would like to turn
back the clock and find his own. While he was out adding a super
to his bee hive over the weekend, he couldn't help musing that the only
thing marring his happiness was the absence of a female partner in his
homesteading endeavors. Hopefully one of you can fill that gap!
Our neighbor lives in an intentional
community with lots
of land to make your homesteading dreams come true. He loves his
bees and his garden, is a top-notch cook and a great preserver, and he also likes to play
golf, enjoy good movies, and dine out. He often has the
opportunity to travel for work, and hopes his mate would
like to go with him.
On a more personal note,
our neighbor is a true gentleman and is one of the few people I go out
of my
way to see on a regular basis. In the winter, I love dropping by
to warm my hands on the water-rounded
stones he selects
out of the nearby river, and I'm always intrigued by his ingenuity, gripping stories, craftsmanship, kindness,
and artistic sense. Plus, his lemon tree is just plain
amazing.
Edited to add: Our neighbor is no longer looking for a mail-order
bride, so the contact information has been removed.

I keep searching for a homestead partner. You can well imagine the responses I get on match dot come and other dating sites. Does anyone out there know how to find others interested in finding a partner in a homesteading life?
I'm all ears.....
Lisa --- I've often thought that a match.com type site just for homesteaders (including the option of finding a platonic partner) would be perfect. Unfortunately, I lack the technical skills to make that happen.
In the meantime, I've heard that some big cities have weed dating --- like speed dating, but you weed while you talk, presumably meaning you'd attract people with green thumbs. I'd be curious to hear if anyone comes up with other options for finding a homesteading mate.
