We are 11 like-spirited adults and five, now adult and gone, children. Our purpose includes harmony with our environment, nurturance, celebration of spiritual diversity, and social change. The community leases 80 acres of farmland from Gaia Land Trust, created in 1980, and members sub-lease holdings. The trust's purpose is to own and preserve land and improvements, promote community, honor ecosystems, and prevent abuse of resources. The community pays monthly rent to the trust. Community members pay dues and rent equally, and in-kind service is an option. Each member is economically independent. The trust pays taxes, fire protection, maintenance, etc. With no community members, the land would devolve to a party committed to preservation of the land.

We gather monthly for a day of work, play, and business (using modified consensus). Working through difficult decisions and writing our guidelines have developed deep trust and extended family. In 30 years as a community, only one full member has left. We dream of all being on the land full-time, and most of us are now. We live in owner-built structures heated with wood and solar, and passively cooled. Power varies from solar to conventional to mixed, but conservation is key in all. We enjoy visitors (including children), though our membership is practically closed. Visitors must write in advance.
