Stone Soup Foundation Project is Creating a New Self Sustaining Community "Independence Village" based on Simple and Basic Core Values, as shown in the Fairy tale "Stone Soup". Caring Community Members who share and help each other for the good and welfare of all.

The Community design is based around a small Village, to include dorms,townhouses,individual home sites.

The Construction of all structures will utilize 90% recycled materials, and will include common creature comforts we all enjoy. The goal is to become an off the grid Community, utilizing Solar, Wind, Hydro, and Bio-fuels to support our infrastructure.

The Foundation intends to assist in income producing enterprises, and business opportunities, to create income for its town members. We intend on being a totally self sufficient community, providing our own foods, including, beef, poultry,fish and vegetables.

"Independence Village" currently is seeking Members for the formation Committee, and active members.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or suggestions.
