We are an agricultural-based intentional community near Plant City, Florida. Our group is focused on sustainable living, farming, alternative energies (with an emphasis on solar), music, environmental issues, social justice, and having fun. Community products include organic vegetables and eggs, ornamental trees, cane syrup, tilapia, and native plants. We also have mechanic and wood-working shops. Community outreach activities include a sustainable living program (www.wmnf.org), farmers’ markets, and support of global community efforts. Carpentry, mechanic, or agricultural experience is a plus. Upcoming projects include finishing construction of an additional 1,500 sq ft of living space.

The mission at EcoFarm is to form a sustainable, eco-friendly, people-friendly, farm-based intentional community that provides for all the needs of community members. Members are community-minded. They are focused on maintaining the well-being of the community and striving towards increasing sustainability. Meaningful work, a social environment, and community activities cultivate an atmosphere of common purpose and shared experiences. Prospective members need no money to join, only to be free of debt and to have a willingness to put the community first. Visitations can be arranged by appointment for those interested in being a part of the EcoFarm vision.

We believe the world is at a critical-decision crossroads. The survival of our planet, indeed the human race, is at stake. Science has confirmed what we are witnessing first-hand; global warming, resource depletion, escalating population growth, mass extinctions, and other worldwide events demand that we adopt a more sustainable lifestyle as stewards of the world we all live in. Our personal decisions in daily living are the key to changing this destructive course. As EcoFarmers, we strive to help others in finding more sustainable solutions for everyday living through education and demonstration of subjects such as native and edible landscaping, reuse, recycling, conservation, and more. As citizens in the Sunshine State, we place a strong emphasis on solar projects, such as solar heating, cooking, and electricity.
