    Land Seeker Details

    Training
    • General farming (3 years+) - I have run a small hobby farm for 3+ years, I have experince with all sorts of livestock care and husbandry. Have studied permaculture, horticulture, regenerative ag, cover crops, managed grazing principles, systematic ecology, and deeply rooted in holistic wellness and nutrition for humans and animals alike.
    • Other experience/agricultural/business training - I have taken business structuring and finance courses. I have also taken a few Farm biosecurity courses.
    Do you have a business plan?
    Yes - I have a business plan in progress and refining it almost daily. Will update back when I have more clarity on goals and direction.
    Do you have financial resources available to start your farm?
    No - I am actively looking for investor potential.
    Do you have access to other financial resources (such as a financial partner, loan, etc.) to start your farm?'
    Yes - At this point I am looking for all - but wanting to hand some potential investment opportunities for not only the start up but also provide an overshot on ROI with growth of interest, the potential to build upon this idea is endless.

    Farm Name
    The Forest Lighthouse Project
    Farm Project Description

    We are in the early stages of dreaming into reality an off-grid, harmonized way of living rooted in regenerative practices, sacred connection to the land, and conscious community-building. Our long-term vision—tentatively called the Forest Lighthouse Project—is to co-create an intentional ecovillage that serves as a beacon for harmonized living: where Earth stewardship, creative expression, interspecies communication, and sustainable agriculture thrive in coherence. This will be the learning grounds for future generations to get back to our roots, and living amongst nature, not against it. We’re seeking: 🌿 Landowners or leasers in Alberta or BC open to partnerships, long-term lease, or shared stewardship 🌿 Value-aligned investors or supporters passionate about regenerative communities 🌿 Individuals or families excited to co-create and contribute skills: permaculture, earthship building, herbalism, food forestry, animal wellness, off-grid tech, and more 🌿 Artists, healers, teachers, and spiritual practitioners who are feeling the call to live in deeper resonance with Earth, Self, and Community This is still in the visioning and foundational stages, but the call is strong and the momentum is building. We believe that finding the right land, team, and partnerships can spark the blueprint for something that will ripple outward—healing the way we live with the land, each other, and ourselves. ✨ If your heart stirred reading this—we want to hear from you. Let’s grow something meaningful together. ✨ Email: forestlighthouseproject@gmail.com Project Name: Forest Lighthouse Project – A Beacon for Harmonized Living 🌲🌊🔆

    Land & Features Desired

    Total Land Size (acres)
    50 - 160+
    Wooded Area (acres)
    Yes - Backing crownland would be incredible, but having access to a large wooded area would be idea
    Cultivable Area (acres)
    Any
    Possibility to expand area currently available (acres)
    No
    Zoning
    Preferred current state of the surface of the cultivable area

    Un-sprayed with herbicides if possible. Will be using regenerative techniques and managed grazing to bring it back to a high carbon capture, diverse bio-organism, profitable and maintainable level for a healthy foreseeable future to come. I would also like to work with those far and wide who are wanting to learn these techniques, and provide a 'learning grounds' area for those who specialize, teach, and wish to prove the functionality of this method. Inspiration and like-minded aspirations: Common Ground, Kiss the Ground, The Biggest Little Farm, Need to Grow.

    Open to landowner residing on property
    Yes - If aligned with the values
    Need farm buildings
    No
    Need fenced land
    No
    Need farm machinery and tools
    Yes - Machinery on site or having access to move earth, dig, harrow, load and grade would be incredible resources to have. But not required.
    Need established water source and infrastructure
    We would have considerations of drilling a well, however this would more so be for potential livestock and gardens. The homes that are being considered use rain water and do not require water to be ported in.
    Need on-site housing
    No
    Production type
    • Vegetable - Passive solar greenhouse, and three sister crop methods, cover crop as well
    • Livestock - Cattle - Milk and meat, herd share, likely grazing lease while working in the managed grazing
    • Livestock - Sheep - Grazing lease to start, herd share, meat and wool
    • Livestock - Pigs - Eventually when proper pen is set up. Adding biodiversity.
    • Livestock - Goats - Weed control, managed grazing, meat and milk
    • Poultry - Layers - Will be set up for 40+ laying hens, dual purpose. Chicken tractor and fixed coop set up.
    • Hay & Forage - Would like to hay 7-10 acres if space permits. If not we will have to purchase hay for the animals.
    • Orchard/Fruit - Would love to grow a verity of stone fruit, apples, and citrus. Passive solar greenhouse can be built to accommodate this. Also every Earthship built has the capabilities to grow trees such as figs, banana, cherry etc. Providing each family a diverse range of fruit and vegetables
    • Greenhouse - Yes, as mentioned above, passive solar green house(s) will be a focus once the housing is established. A communal, CSA potential, central greenhouse, and multiple smaller scale per household built.
    • Flower - Native species, wildflowers, and potentially a larger scale medicinal flower crop buffer will be added
    • Bees - Yes, though I do not have direct experince raising bees, I am planning to partner with a local apiary to learn
    • Mushroom - Yes, ideally we would have a seacan set up as a mushroom grow facility, again for those in the community, as well as a local vender (market, restaurant, farm to table etc.)
    • Other - Possibilities are endless. I am open to collaboration and any other ideas on how to harmonize with nature, while nurturing our livelihoods in the process
    Type of agriculture
    • Organic -
    Soil needs
    Will acquire commercial insurance
    Yes - I am willing, but will start with non-commercial until required to do otherwise
