| Located just one hour southwest of St. Louis, Missouri, Cold Spring Farm is an intentional community in the forming stage. We have 30 acres of beautiful land, half pasture and half woods, with two springs that feed a year-round creek, lots of wildlife, and big trees! We are looking for five to eight people who want to be part of something greater than the sum of its parts. Our plan includes growing organic produce to sell at local farmers markets and to restaurants and families here in St. Louis. We are earth-loving, music-playing, hard-working people looking for similar types. We like having fun and want like-minded people who are looking for a different path. Our land and home are paid for, and our bills are very small. No rent is required, but you will be responsible for your own spending money. Once the farm is up and running, all profits will be shared equally after common expenses are paid (seeds, compost, etc.). Families with children are welcome, as are singles. Just be happy, creative, hard-working, and willing to contribute your creative energy. Status: active and growing | Community location is placed at the center of the zip/postal code, city/state, or city/country (not based on street addresses) |
| | Government Decision Making: By consensus | Labor and Money Financial Style: Partial income sharing (all income derived from farming is equally shared. Until then rent is free and little to no utilities but you will need to provide your own spending money....partime jobs are available nearby) Labor Contribution: Expected (all members are expected to share in the building of the community, the farm, new structures and other projects we might decide to pursue. All community decisions are made by consensus) | Land and Buildings Rural (beautiful 30 acre farm) Area: 30 acres (12.1 hectares) Land Owned By: A subgroup of community members Number of Residences: 2 (currently we have one good size home (3000sq feet) looking to build more as needed) | Food, etc. Percentage of Food Grown: none (Just starting, by next year we hope to produce more than 50% of our own food, perhaps much higher!) Share Community Meals: 2-5 times/week (we would like to share meals as possible) Dietary Choice or Restrictions: Diet is up to each individual Dietary Practice: Omnivorous Alcohol Use: Used occasionally (we like to have fun, but expect our members to be safe, sane and happy when they party) Tobacco Use: Used Occasionally | |
