Forming
This page last updated:11/19/2011
City Haven
Greater Boston, Massachusetts,
United States
 Forming a cooperative.We have two people already, one a semi-retired painter aged 60 and one semi-retired pianist-songwriter aged 65. All ages are welcome. Our vision is to have meals cooked and shared 5-7 days a week each person cooking one night and each person doing a weekly chore. Also we would like to have a weekly staples list which we all contribute to. We are into eating healthy but not necessarily all vegetarian. A sense of humor is important. We are looking for laid back folks who aren't particularly happy with the concept of rugged indivdualism and want a sense of connection. We have been living cooperatively for nearly five years in Cambridge and see a need to find a less expensive area but close to the T. If this interests you please drop me a line.
