Potash Hill Community
Cummington, Massachusetts,
United States
 On 115 acres of woods and pastures in western Massachusetts, 25 miles west of Northhampton, a five-college town. Thirteen privately owned 2- to 5-acre lots ranging from $23,000---$30,000 surrounded by a 60-acre land trust. Community sauna, garden, and community building. Six households established. Our fundamental principle is to establish and uphold harmony, cooperation, creativity, and reciprocity of support. We value personal autonomy, relationships, business, the arts, natural healing, education, celebration, and fun. We foresee a community of independent thinkers with initiative to take responsibility for shaping their lives and their community.
