Find Freedom
Near Macon, Georgia,
United States
 Within 5 years, we plan to build rural homes inspired by the earthship model and permaculture designed to sustain ourselves and close neighbors. Our community will be based on the constitution of the US with few amendments, believing that freedom should not have to be purchased. Central Georgia location open to visitor-volunteers but for now, just need help establishing structure of group, questionnaire for interested folk, and lots of planning. We have a strong ethic code and accept all religions, but are not religious in ceremony. Existing farmhouse sleeps 4-8. Contact me for more info.
  Status: Looking for smart able bodies and spirits to find freedom.
