Community

We are not just looking for a place to move to.  We are seeking, developing and cultivating a community to live in, raise family, and start or join businesses.  We are looking for partners in business and good neighbors. People are more important than place alone.

Qualities of the people with whom we work/live:

-Mature
-Responsible
-We do what we say we do
-We communicate changes openly
-We have mutually supportive loving relationships
-We want to know others wants and needs to better meet them
-We are proactive and self- initiating
-We laugh, sing, and dance
-We blur lines of work, fun and play

Qualities of our community (not comprehensive):

  • Our decisions are rooted in values for healthy people and healthy planet, local economy, and consensus.
  • We develop our land with regenerative practices that serve people as well as native plants and animals.
  • We serve the community with health and healing, arts, and regenerative agricultural education and services.

  • Creating a Life Together: Practical Tools to Grow Ecovillages and Intentional Communities by Diane Leafe Christian
  • Creating Cohousing: Building Sustainable Communities by Kathryn McCammant and Charles Durrett

    Good evening all,

    My brother and I are currently liking
    for a community of like minded individuals
    that focus on self sustaining. We bring
    MANY talents to the table including
    carpentry, dry wall, gardening, fish
    farming, security, accounting, and many
    more. We are 26 & 24 years old and are
    both veterans. We’re capable of building
    our own shelter off the land if house
    space is unavailable. We’re dedicated to
    organic and self sustained practices, and
    are studied in both. Please let me know if
    we sound like we may be a good fit for
    your community. Thanks!

    Parker Coyer
