Bear Creek Farms
PO BOx 1049 Fall River Mills, California,
United States
(Cascade Mountains @ 3400 ft. elevation)
 Find out if you qualify to be in this land trust. Be one of six families to experience Shangri-La in the Cascade Mountains. Enjoy a healthy and mild four seasons at 3400 ft elevation, a trout stream with waterfalls, a pristine aquifer, a farm sanctuary off the electric grid, and access to one million acres of slow growth privately owned forest preserve. We also have arts and crafts studios, an herb and health food store, martial arts and complete gym, private woodworking and blacksmithing shops, family wholesome video rentals, an Amish buggy dealership, an amazing 5.7 average daily solar count, and enough outdoor adventure to keep one entertained forever.
The dream is 90 percent complete. We are in the final production of eleven full-length books dealing with all aspects of community, alternative health and survival in preparation for the collapse of Western Civilization. We don't indulge racism, homophobes, egalitarians, programmed TV or computer junkies, and certainly not paramilitary types, but we also disdain pacifism; we embrace self-defense training, live music, home schooling, consensus rule minus one, and high tech things to bridge the gap back to a 16th century lifestyle.
Tell us about your holistic pursuits, the tools, equipment, and finances you command. Be ready to relocate as we have zero tolerance for fence sitters and the curious. It's best to come with your own house on wheels. Send your resume with a SASE and tell us how you might help complete the dream. Farm sanctuary is sixteen miles en route to our large complex in a remote village with only two stop signs and no traffic lights. We have a Lear Jet county airport, a PGA rated golf course and a unique county fair with top arts and crafts.
We focus on what is good for the fifth generation, starting with a complete divorce from the evil empire. We like horses, goats, alpacas, and we do eat fish. Tell us about your diet.
