30 Years of Service to the Intentional Communities Movement

For 30 years the FIC has provided networking and support to co-ops, land trusts, Cohousing, ecovillages, communes, and collective living of all kinds. We’ve helped people find communities, helped communities find people, and helped people who want to start communities find each other. We’ve also been a face and point of interaction for media, researchers, and allied movements.

Find out more and help us celebrate.

Plenty Magazine has a short article on Eco Neighborhoods and urban ecology. Back-to-the-landers have been making a comeback of sorts, what with the rise of the farmers’ markets and localvores and organic lettuce-obsessed gourmands.
