It’s still only in the rumor phase but the Evening Sun from Hanover, PA is reporting that the Barack Obama campaign may be planning a stop at Hundredfold Farm a rural cohousing community in south-central Pennsylvania.

However, one reason for his optimism about a potential Obama appearance is the campaign’s interest in the Hundredfold Farm, a co-housing community west of Cashtown that places an emphasis on environmental friendliness.

“All of the information about that farm has been requested by the Obama campaign,” said Roger Lund (Chairman of the Adams County Democratic Committee). “They’re looking at that very carefully as a place.”

This probably isn’t the first time a presidential hopeful has stopped at an intentional community but its exciting to think of having a president who knows first hand about cohousing and community. Not to mention the publicity for the movement.

Let’s hope it happens.
