A small farm, doing the minimum farming to keep us ag exempt. We are semi-retired and wanting to stay on the land. We are looking for wanna be farmers or homesteaders. We are fragrance free, I am allergic to the man made world. Currently we are replacing the fencing with dog proof fencing, year 3 of a 5 year plan on the 20 acres we own. Barbed wire will remain on the 40 acres we lease. This year will see the finished installation of a 23000 gallon water catchment with solar pump for the farm.
Community means helping each other, a complete win/win, no losers. Healthy food, no toxic chemicals of any sort allowed, especially fragrances. We care about the planet and do it no harm. Everything living here is happy, happy critters and humans. Mostly off grid, a large solar system that operates the farm. We have a large barn for food processing and for the community to gather, when we are finished with the rebuild.
We are working towards the land feeding every living thing that lives here. We don’t like using the feed store, it is too expensive. We are closing the loops and working carefully with nature to provide more natural diets for our critters. I am well known in the regenerative ag world and have my permaculture design certificate. But we are going beyond these, we are closing the loop. Nothing is wasted, everything finds a use.
Discussion to make sure we are all a good fit, short in person or on line video visits, then a three month trial.
Send us an email, show up for a work day, come for a visit. Lets talk.
One person or partnership has ultimate authority.
Generally seek agreement, but have backup methods when consensus isn’t reached.
Power and responsibility are shared relatively equally among members.
For now, as the owners, we are in control. But this can change as the community grows. The only firm rules have to do with chemical sensitivities, most other stuff can be negotiated.
Community operates shared enterprises that provide income.
Labor: Yes (12 hrs/week)
At present there is no income, so that would need to be created before it can be shared. If you have debt, you must have the income to pay it without depending on the farm. I am not sure about the job market here. Our current laborer can not find a job, locally. He wants weekends off as he has a 9 year old son he spends most weekends with.
We have a huge variety of things that could bring in some money that could be set up in a very short time period, 2-3 months. We have no desire to make money off anyone.
Common House, Garden(s), Greenhouse(s), Library, Workshop, Outbuilding(s), Large Scale Kitchen, Tractor & Farm Equipment, Fire pit
We will be inviting people to help us build the new chicken coop, it will be a wattle and daub building with a lime plaster.
We have a pair of cats that live here, no other animals is allowed to bother them. Dogs must prove they will behave around the farm critters that live here. Also, pets that are already here have priority, so if you pet can’t get along with them, it will be a problem.
Open landscapes with predominantly grass vegetation
Subtypes include tropical, temperate, and desert grasslands

Integrated communities designed around ecological principles with sustainable living practices.
Currently we have dairy cows, beef cows and extensive gardens. We are working slowly to expand this, but we need help to get there.
Local farmer’s market every Saturday.
Greywater to water various trees
Connecting people and communities through an intentional online marketplace
A residential project: people live here as their primary home.
