Forming Formed: 2005
Citizens Micro Economy
Portland, Oregon,
United States
 This is a venue to discuss starting a cooperative which offers basic needs to maintain a relatively comfortable human survival by means of, atleast, retail distribution, at most, cooperative community.
Our ideal, at this point, is to pick up some property (several acres)an hour or less outside of Portland. Share it (co-own) with a group (just like any other co-op farm) and do what we've got to do to live a good life.
We're not wanting to get caught up in your religion or eating habit(individual expenses are your business)...we just want to get a small
pre-industrial age economy going.
