English but lived in Scotland 39 yrs. Vet Nurse qual.
Three adult children, four grandchildren. Moved to present 20acre small farm in 2000. Livery stable business involving daughter, poultry, one son's joinery workshop on yard, other son garden maintenence and handyman on our land.
Became interested in permaculture gradually as alternative to growing organically. Common sense showed a better way! Could be closed loop with manure/chickens etc. Family would be interested but have financial commitments.
Seriously planning carbon neutral housing on land plus farm-type shop in steading using every possible eco - friendly method available. Water supply not adequate and so looking at boreholes, a bit wary as no experience of these. 1/2 acre raised beds and polytunnel in last four years.
