 We are a multigenerational, diverse community that is open and accepting. We are newly formed, and our current members are interested in sustainability, the arts, family-oriented community, social justice, nonviolent communication, slow food, gardening, and being active outdoors. Families, professionals, seniors and students—all types are welcome. We value being located where we can bike or walk to activities.
Equity ownership options will be available after incorporation based on the decisions made by the advisory board.
Please send a message if you would like to join the site advisory council to assist in board development, the writing of bylaws, and the incorporation process.
