BACKWOODS COMMUNE
buchanan, Tennessee,
United States
 BACKWOODS COMMUNE is an 8 acre adult only farm in the woods of west tennessee..we will have goats and chickens as well as gardens. we are looking for like minded folks to build a small commune here for self sufficiency.we will build a community shower house and allready have a summer kitchen. we are planning on a tiny house concept for individual families. NUDISM will be accepted but certainly not required.each family will be responsible for their tiny house and the rest of the compound will be a group effort as far as work and finance.
