    About us:
    we have a good bit of land mixed fields and forrests.
    we have a few buildings on it already a big cabin two small ones and an old old house{storage mostly chuck however resides in an upstairs room}
    hopin to have another built by spring. we are currently 5 people livin on site.
    we do hope to increase that number as many hands make light work
    this year we had one main garden we've worked the ground on 3 other locations and are plannin next years crops already,we work together eat together "most of the time i tend to skip meals" were outa the way and outa sight but not completely off grid we have power and phone. the water is in the ground as is the septic.
    we heat and cook with wood,well thiers a grill and a few cook stoves as well.
    finances arent shared but we do try to take care of eachother, crafting and going to flea markets and crops are our ways of income"after harvest and the bills are paid thier is a profit share" the sorrounding towns dont offer much hope for employment.
    basicly were a farm family of non relitives. from all over sams from new york"property owner" and me im from oregon and kevin is a local boy.
    thiers no judgement based on religion,race,gender, or sexual prefrance. only ask that each respect the others backgrounds.
    we ask 15 hours a week of our members time,the rest is your time to do what you do craft, write, what ever it is u do.
    as it is a farm a good work ethic is needed,other than that anything u might need to know that u dont can be tought.
    current houseing s i said we only have a few buildings done so its limited
    one place has room for 3 or 4 beds. so tents are used during spring and summer and if your hard core winter. im still in a tent "my cabin is a work in progress as i have free time" so make no mistake the living up here is somewhat rugged but with extras like a workin toliet and hot baths.
    the hidden agenda: to live love and be in a non violent enviroment.
    where community is fact not fiction.
    thats about the bast i can do for now its late and morning feeding is comming soon gona grab an hour or two and start a new day..
    drop me a note, post openly here or hit my email @ prot3ch2006@gmail.com
    be well
