Mother Earth
Arizona,
United States
 Several years ago we realized that city life in America was becoming less and less attractive. We worked harder and earned less. Life wasn't getting better, it was getting worse.
Then we realized that at some point the civilized society we had come to depend on was slowly but surely slipping away. We are not 'doomsdayers' but we do feel that there may well come a time in America where basic survival in the cities may become difficult if not impossible.
We reasoned that a farming/ranching lifestyle would be far more attractive and provide much more security.
Any number of things could cause life in the cities to become challenging so we decided we wanted to live in a way that would provide a higher degree of security and satisfaction.
If nothing catastrophic ever happens in America, so much the better! We will still be self sufficient and debt free. We are interested in developing a community of people who wish to live a highly self sufficient lifestyle, free of city life hassles and drama.
We plan to grow our own crops and raise our own animals for food.
We're not selling spots, we're not giving them away, we are allowing us.
Simple living the way things were with simple rules. Plant a little, grow little, farm a little, and live a lot.
You can join us, all it takes is simple donations, we have to secure everything and we have to work it all.
We are ready to plan for new members of our community but only those with like minded philosophies.
Our goal is to build and maintain a self sufficient community of people who would enjoy working together for the betterment of all members.
We will not accept any new members who display any negative philosophies such as racism, extreme religious behavior or rabid political ideology. Just good people who are tolerant, hard working and generally good natured.
