You might hear this invitation as a howl from the dark unknown of these times we find ourselves in. Or perhaps the tender coo of a dove’s offering to a new day. Or the anxious squeak of a mouse in the paws of a great cat. However it arrives, here it is: a post-humanist call to come love, laugh, work, dance, sweat, cry, grow, connect and make meaning together. To work hard and well. To court and cultivate ALIVENESS in this land, in each other, in ourselves. To dance with paradox; to coax together the wild and the cultivated, the sacred and the profane, the inner and the outer. This is delightfully hard work- physically, emotionally, spiritually. We are excited to continue this experiment in alternative living!

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” - Buckminster Fuller

We are in an unhurried and deliberate process of becoming an intentional community, in addition to a productive farm. We are slowly calling in farmers, bakers, cooks, builders, artisans, teachers, seekers and healers - perhaps starting to grow flesh on the ancient bones of Village. The legal/economic form is still taking shape, but it will likely come to involve communal ownership and/or sharing of profits among members. We continue to welcome seasonal crew, and are also open to those potentially interested in longer-term involvement. You’ll notice a question about this on the application. These are dynamic and exciting times for us!

“There is almost a sensual longing for communion with others that have a larger vision.” - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

For 2026, we will be sharing profits with everyone who lives and works full-time on the farm. At the end of the year, 20% of profits will be distributed evenly among the crew. The remaining profits will be re-invested in the farm, as we are in the midst of substantial building projects that will increase our on-farm housing and move us toward our community goals.
