WHO WE ARE
We are a non-profit, permaculture-centered, cooperative community close to Eugene, Oregon.
We are not an ‘egalitarian’ community that provides for all of your basic needs.
Living here, we all know that we are ultimately responsible for our own financial needs, and that we need to generate that from outside of what our community can offer us.
There are approximately 40 to 60 of us living in a rural, dispersed village on 88 acres of forest, creek, fields, and meadows.
Residents put in approximately 20 Hours / Week towards Community Participation and Governance, some of which is paid work (as staff) and some of which offers rent reduction work credits (land-based work and maintenance).
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Do you now or have you wanted to live off-grid and have been wanting to live in an
Intentional Community or Eco-Village?
We are looking for a few residents, staff, and interns who can be really successful living here, happily working and participating in our Intentional Community..
We are looking for someone who would also be a good addition to our neighborhood devoted only to Off-Grid
Solar Living.
These are Off-Grid Sites with
Water and a Composting Toilet Nearby
Dwelling Place Not Included
Backup Grid Power Available if Necessary
A NOTE ON COMMUNITY
You will be living and working in a rural intentional community, run cooperatively, focused on
permaculture, non-violent communication, and self-governance. We quite often provide access to produce from gardens and some
firewood from our acreage. We strive to also have a shared meal plan, and provide for your basic health and safety needs. On property we also have a wood-fired sauna, wood-fired hot tub, and educational events that often include workshops, students, teachers, wellness practice, and dance.
