Winona, Minnesota,

United States

We are a land cooperative of around 22 adults and one teenager living on 358 acres in southeast Minnesota.

We share the land in common, but housing, incomes, diet, schooling, etc., are each individual's responsibility.

We have very little turnover at our land co-op and find replacements by word of mouth.
