Thanks for the encouragement, Kev.

I’m in awe of your garden design service project, and the spirit thereof. I’ve been wanting to create a food forest since learning of ’em 4-5 years ago. And recently I’ve envisioned something similar to your service. Once my new stewards move in (crossing my fingers!) I hope to start creating my/our own…

I hear you Gerald. I’m in a similar “place”. I’m hoping dreaming that those of us without resources and/or family/a community to homestead with will find an opportunity when Music&Sky buys its property.

Two years ago I was somewhat desperately looking for folks to buy land with. I realized, after that didn’t come together, that having…

This thread! Too many things to even remotely comment on, but so much of this really resonates. This has been where my head is at for the past year or two.

The houses are super energy efficient and small, there is a communal professional kitchen, event space building (I stayed in a little air b n b bedroom that they have there when I visited) and it is bordered by a bazillion wildlife acres. Cars park in the outside, gardens everywhere and a whole slew of…

Good day all–I am loving this discussion and am imagining an alchemical marriage of communing and privatizing, which might organize private domains around a central community space with a garden and a beautiful, biogeometrically designed Hearth space with kitchen and music-dance- movement- meditation area, and perhaps all aligned in…

Actually, perhaps Cowan’s recent talk is actually sort of contextually pertinent. I am still wrapping my brain around everything. I am coming at this group from: Having a home & land that I would like to turn into a community/farm/homestead…or at the very least a place for people to meet and expand the network on the East Coast. My partner…
