Hi,

Are you interested in creating a community based on permaculture principles? Are you a fan of Bill Mollison's vision of permaculture? We'd like to bring together creative, responsible, like-minded people who'd like to share the vision of a community based on the idea of sustainable organic permaculture farming in a supportive environment, year round, regardless of the weather. Have you read any of Eliot Coleman's books?

Everyone, we feel, should own their own property and have their "own" space. It's about the convenience of locating in proximity of people with like-minded goals. If this sounds like something you might be interested in exploring please read the descriptive information below to see if your idea of community matches ours and, if so, contact us to start a dialog.
