Posted an announcement about the community over at permies.com. Here’s a few snippets:
"I would like to extend the invitation to check out our project to anyone interested in living life as close to the outer zones of permaculture–zones 4 and 5–as possible. In addition to our focus in using permaculture to create regenerative systems that allow us to avoid farms and feudalism, and move toward what geoff lawton has described as a hunter-gatherer fast-food system, we think our community has some attractive qualities. Rather than think of our community as a construction project with a greenwashed permaculture veneer, we take our connection to the land seriously. Our membership fee structure is based on each member pitching in enough money to buy them ~1/2 acre of land. As membership increases, we use the money to buy more land. As we buy more land, everyone in the community has the land they have access to expand. In 2015, we’re able to keep the fee to about $2,000. How are we going to build roads and Earthships and buy excavators and diesel with that? We’re not.
"We’re not really oriented toward technological progress or building shiny thing or trying to rationalize capitalist theory into the third ethic, and if you might like a group of folks whose guiding text is the academic journal paper, Play as a Foundation for Hunter-Gatherer Social Existence, and take The Original Affluent Society to heart, you might be our people. Or we might be your people.
" We love food. We love adventure. We love being human. We hope you do to, even if you don’t come play with us.
