Looking for members and volunteers for new community in MT

Hello my eco-friendly guys and gals!

My name is Ivy Beck, and I have been interested in building my own eco-village/intentional community for a long time, and now I am finally ready to do it! Recently I moved to Arizona, and it hasn’t been the best for me. I have experienced many hardships while living here, and it is time for me to move on. Whilst living here I met many new friends, but unfortunately not many with the same mindset as me when it comes to sustainability.

Eventually, I met my best friend Tako. We came up with this grand idea of moving to Montana, buying a large pice of land, and creating our very own homestead. Then I thought “Why not build a whole community?”. I know how hard it can be to find communities that share the same values as you, or even finding one near you, or the area you want to be in.

Now, we are building this community and we need your help! I have many skills when it comes to homesteading, cooking, building, woodworking, first aid, CPR, gardening, etc. We need your skills too! Being part of our community, everyone needs to contribute, it doesn’t have to be in a monetary way, you can contribute your skills. We will be starting from scratch, so if you want to be part of our amazing adventure, let us know!

Adventure awaits!

P.s. If you don’t want to be part of the community, but would like to donate to help us on our adventure, I will be adding a Go Fund Me link.

Much love,

Hey Ivy, and Tako,

Y’all already bought land in Montana? Have you been able to observe the land at all, and for how long? Can you tell us anything about the naturalized plants n trees there?

Would love to hear more. Had a dream the day you posted this about moving to Montana (random for me, I have very loose familial connections to a ranch there but nothing more) so I thought I should poke my head in.

My partner and I have 2 kids. WWoof’ed for 10 years, worked on many many many farms and homesteads in that time. Experience with veggies, herbs, apothecary experience, light carpentry, natural building, animal husbandry (goats, ducks and chickens), and I am a doula/birth worker. My husband is a Waldorf teacher. Lots to be said but that all seems applicable!

I’d love to talk on the phone sometime if you’re interested!

Hello Ivy,

Please tell me you're starting this venture in southeast Montana.  My husband and I are looking for our forever home situation.  I would love to learn more about what you're doing.
