Singles or couples wanted to live in simplicity and build as part of a five acre homesteading community in a quiet Amish valley in southwestern Wisconsin, USA.

Garden and workshop as well as house sites and a 14 foot by 16 foot(4.5mx 5.3m) starter house available.

Trade labor with current landlord/ occupant (me) to get your house built. Seeking to establish a landtrust community, possibly a retreat or learning center, furniture and crafts business,etc. Open to suggestion on any lifestyle or enterprise that treads lightly on or works toward the renewal of the earth.
