So here’s a discussion topic for you.
After Hurricane Helene, many people in Western North Carolina are still displaced, and many small farms and homesteads are still struggling to recover. But I believe we can salvage an opportunity from the devastation—maybe even build the foundation for… well, a new civilization?
The Homeseed Project is a long-term regional recovery initiative designed to re-create our region and guide our path forward. We’re offering safe, secure micro-housing opportunities for displaced individuals in RVs, campers, or tiny homes, and pairing them with small farms and homesteads that need labor to rebuild. There, they’ll gain valuable employment skills and heal as only Nature (and good, hard work!) can provide. Then, we’ll connect these revitalized operations with the local community garden network, business improvement groups, and agricultural support systems.
This is about sustainable community rebuilding on a grand scale. We’re creating replicable work/trade models that not only address immediate recovery but lay the groundwork for thriving, interconnected, long-term regional resilience.
And that’s how we’ll survive. Through compassion. Through working together.
Thoughts?
