What we do

Roots To Heal Farmacy is going to be a Permaculture eco income sharing Farm. We believe in sustainable communal living. We will be the first income sharing Farm in Costa Rica as well. The main goals our community is going to have are: grow 90% plus of our own food, eco friendly building, starting businesses and sharing income as a community, communal eating, ect. As we start coming together as a community we can discuss things further. We don’t have the land yet. Once we get enough people together to buy the land we will. And once we have the land we could start creating different businesses. Like for example: Fruit from farm, vacation huts/ B&B, tree nursery, restaurant, smoothie shack, edible landscaping, tour guide, some kind of internet buisness, or even come together with a members existing business. and I’m sure there is more we can think of if we put our heads together. We don’t want to raise any animals for meat to make money. only for our community members. Who our willing to process them there selves. And for religion and or spirituality. We ask if your religious that you do not push it on anyone. And the same thing goes with spirituality. If you are asked about it and someone really wants to know. Then it’s fine and the same thing goes with diet. We don’t want any stupid fights over it. Drugs will not be allowed. Except for cannabis but must be grown. Community will not pay for it. Shrooms and ayahuasca will be allowed for religious or spiritual practices.

Our Mission

income sharing permaculture community. Goals: sustainable, eco-friendly homes, working together, growing food, sharing income, reforestation, community fun, education, yoga and or fitness, maybe a small animal rescue for injured wild life one day. We also want to have community meals together. My family eat a plant based diet. But we don’t discriminate anyone on there food choices. We will just have to have certain cookware for people who eat meat.

Ellis Street Community House is seeking kind, present, and engaged new housemates with experience in community living. We are currently 3 adults, one baby, and two cats living in a 6 bedroom, 3 bath house on ÂĽ acre of land near Powell Butte nature park and the Springwater Corridor bike trail. We expect to be joined by a shy and sweet 2 year old in the next few months. For us, living in community is a collaborative process, one that helps improve our quality of life. We’re able to eat great food, keep the place clean, maintain a garden, and hold a space large enough to host guests and events by working together. We have an extensive community library and art/craft material collection, as well as a great tea selection, stocked pantry, and functional kitchens ready for feast-making, canning, and fermentation dreams. We make kombucha, ginger beer, sauerkraut, bone broth, natto, and apple/pear butter on a rotating basis. With two fridges and two deep freezers we can save blueberries and blackberries we harvested from close by and get meat directly from farmers. We hold potlucks and other events like bonfires and game nights about once a month, and make a house dinner together weekly. We maintain a home free from artificial fragrances and voice-activated technology. The larger downstairs room is available for $740 per month. The smaller downstairs room will be available for $600 per month starting on September 1rst. The main kitchen is on the second floor. We also have private outdoor space for someone sleeping in their home on wheels available for $200-500 per month depending on the size of the vehicle.
