A Wild Family

In short…..We(John & AJ) met in 2006, & lived in Plymouth, IN at our permaculture-based, educational farm; Luna Hill Farm(Cultivating Community & Celebrating Curiosity) for 10 years, where we raised their 4 kids, ran the Luna Hill Wild School(Nuturing Wonder, with Nature), & hosted many community-building events. Away from the farm, John worked as a carpenter & AJ taught various classes throughout the community. We sold the farm in 2022, converted a bus to a RV in 3 1/2 months, then hit the road to travel the US for 6 months. We lived & traveled for over a year in that home-on-wheels; volunteering, exploring, & learning so much! Then, we sold our first skoolie…..& are now moved into our 2nd self-converted, off-grid skoolie! After listening deeply to all family members input on what should be our next chapter, we have chosen to root back down & are now settled into our new property in Inverness, Florida! We are going to be building an eco-friendly home here and we’re busy at play & work now, developing our land. We are on just over an acre, with 3/4s of the property wild & wooded(just how we like it!) and are loving being stewards to this land-cultivating a forest garden, developing gardens, gray water systems, gathering spaces, & more for the work we feel grateful to be able to uphold here; living with nature & always evolving, with presence.

Update: July 1st we moved into the perfect little home in Downtown Brooksville, where we will open a Wild School in January 2025! Expect a complete overhaul of the website beforehand, with lots of details on what we’ll offer, with multiple local facilitators teaching by my side. See our Facebook page for more recent stories & changes to the website soon! -AJ
