Date men from United States / Arizona / Concho, 44 year old

Date single man from Arizona, United States. I live "off-the-grid" not far from the Painted Desert in Northern Arizona. I organically grow and raise much of my own food, harvest my electricity from the Sun, and strive to become as sustainable and independent as possible on my modest homestead.
I work from home co-managing a small Internet business building and supporting websites for a variety of businesses, organizations, and individuals. I am a "home body" and love being able to move back and forth between farming, building, and computer work throughout my days. Work, food, life, and play are all nicely integrated and I'm blessed with the freedom to experience my life on my own terms and in my own timing. This lifestyle is physically active, so there's no need for an exercise plan. For much of the year I spend 2-4 hours a day in the garden digging, weeding, hauling -- you get the idea. I do as many tasks as I can by hand. It keeps me fit and helps reduce my energy consumption / environmental footprint.
Many of my interests at the moment have to do with permaculture, sustainability, independence, organic gardening, herbs, vitamins, natural medicine, raising livestock, growing fruit, preserving food, green building, alternative energy systems, etc.. I personally believe that sustainability, self-reliance, and simplicity are the keys to personal freedom and prosperity. It excites me to know and care for my food, build my own shelter, and learn new ways to live in harmony with the Earth.
Politically I'm all over the place. I'll never fit neatly into any box or label. In many ways I'm quite liberal... in other ways I can be conservative. I'm an independent, free-thinking individual. Spiritually I am much the same. I'm very open minded and diverse in my beliefs and traditions.
I'm blessed to have several good friends near-by and I regularly share meals and community time with folks in the area. I really enjoy sharing a fine meal and intelligent conversation with good friends and family. I love to cook and routinely prepare 3 wholesome, home-cooked meals a day. Preparing food for the people that I love is one of the great joys in life for me.
When I can find it or help inspire it, I love a good drum circle. Making music with others around the Fire is one of my favorite ways to share community. Before moving to Arizona I had a lot of music in my life and I long for the day when music can have a more prominent role in my life again.
I'm seeking a partnership with someone who I can share open and honest communication with. I deeply value intelligence, creativity, and individualism. I hope to find someone who shares my interests and inspires new passions within me. Above all, I seek an equal with a peaceful, loving spirit.
