My specific peculiar search for simple community coming into being outside of cities

With my interest in a small community focused on sustainability, with those with me growing all the things they can for needed food and materials, as an ecovillage/intentional community, I want it to not be in a city, or even so close to a city. The ideal for this is in becoming independent with subsistence on what we have there with what we do for that. Of course there are details to work out for that, and with differences among us we will need to come to terms with letting each there be themselves. I have my peculiar ways relative to others, while wanting to work at what I can for what we have a growing to have plenty from that.

This is now a pretty long while since I started here. While I search for anything that would be right (circumstances changed and I won't plan for starting up something for a community I envision) it comes up as needed that I am vegan with my choices. Others on here when I started expressed that they did not understand why a vegan intentional ecovillage community would be envisioned. To answer that, why would those vegan with their choices prefer to be in community with others using animals there? And with growing vegetation for all the vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, and fruit wanted, and materials such as fibers, why would that be thought harder to do, or not sustainable, when it really would be very much so? But as there are not vegan communities that I know of where I can easily join with simple living there, I will necessarily consider any for a community to try to join with where they leave it possible for me to yet live with real simplicity growing things and continuing without using anything from animals.

I see real problematic issues with cities of civilization, for me and those with me to be away from them and to become independent from them as far as possible as soon as that can be done.

Hello,

Where are you located, or where would like to move?

I’m interested in a similar community, away from large cities and focused on wilderness conservation and clean living. Personally I eat a largely vegetarian diet with some occasional meat, but I don’t feel it is my place to tell someone else what to do in their own life. I believe that others should eat what they feel is right for them.

This is why I’m interested in forming a community that focuses on conservation, sustainability, and individual independence in the Appalachian mountains. Check out my thread here: https://permies.com/t/193493/Permaculture-community-Appalachian-Mountains

I am in California. I don't know where there is such a place I can find and join without difficulty around here. It is probably necessary for me to go out of state for what there is for this. That is not easy but I will do that, if I am sure the place I will go to join is right for this and that I would stay with that. It makes this a long shot but I really don't want to stay where I am.

I will need to make one trip to move and stay on land where I can start with this way, growing the vegetation I want there for sustained simple living, where there is good land and a good water source, and I won't need use of animals kept for that, and I can have a simple home made there for that. This will be for me and others I would hope would join me to be coming to an independent way from anything outside of this like places of civilization.
