I am a 53 year old male seeking a community to live and work in. Preferrably South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee or Florida. I have never stayed in a Ecovillage or Intentional Community. The only monetary help I need is to pay my Verizon phone bill so I can stay in touch with my family in South Carolina.

We're near Tampa, a little N of Plant City. Presently more of a family farm than community but still interested in IC's. Do have a family visiting when school is out next month. We had a family plus one other person living here when we up dated our listing in the www.ic.org web site under ecofarmfl last year. The woman move back with her sister next door but still work with us. The other family is gone. Been think about deleting the listing and web site.
Anyhow, we're a diverse farm based on permaculture principles. 54 acres, an 8KW solar intertie system, grow veggies for farmers markets, and have a small herd of water buffalo for mainly milk, and a little of this and that. We're in our 60ties and raising grand kids. So have a lot going on and not sure where were going. Have infrastructure, knowledge, and no debt. Love to stay here but something has to change. There needs to be a few more hands here.

Have you found a spot yet? We don't have space right this second, but in a month or so we may. We are in the Raleigh/Durham NC area.

What sort of things are you looking for in a community? You mentioned some parts of the US, but not why those are attractive places for you. That might be helpful to know.

Also some communities are especially welcoming of people bringing certain skill sets, if there is anything you want to share that might also get some attention.

Good luck and I hope that helps!

I don’t know whether you’ve found your people or you’d be willing to come a bit further north, but check out the Community of Peace in Louisa, VA.

There are a few different Christian intentional communities which are currently working on forming, several threads in here about people who are at different points in the process so feel encouraged to search in here, its a fairly common desire/goal so you're cocolaborators are likely here.

May God bless you in your process and goals.
