 We are small evolving community located on Orcas Island Washington, USA. In 2007,we bought ten beautiful, forested acres from an organic farm. Our ideals and goals are shaped by common interests in sustainable living practices, permaculture and communal living. Like many others of our generation, we are aware of the paradigm shifts taking place on our planet now and are passionate in creating new ways of relating to nature and each other. We are currently creating simple infrastructure systems, designing gardens and developing creative ways to bring in resources and the right people to join us in this endeavor!
