What we do

We are not an Intentional Community but more like an Intentional Neiborhood. Each member owns their own land and make their own decisions. Our Neiborhood is based on
Perpetual Sustainability, Individual Sovereignty, Collective Security, Voluntary Exchange.
Collectively we have over 1800 acres of land. We consist of 21 active Homesteads and 76 individuals.

Our Mission

Our focus is based heavily on the rights of the individual. We entered this life because of the need to escape the ruling class of today’s society. We claim to want freedom and then impose our will on others. our focus is 4-fold.
Perpetual Sustainability, Individual Sovereignty, Collective Security. Voluntary Exchange.
