Valley Of Laughter
Arkansas,
United States
(NW Arkansas)
 So far we are a family of 4 who wish to live as sustainably and simply as possible. We wish to fulfill this by growing our own food and being respectful of nature and each other. We own 12.5 acres of mostly forested land in NW Arkansas...
We are currently residing outside of Arkansas, with intention to move back to the land within 2012. We are still seeking connections and prospective community members. Thank you.
