I have hosted volunteers on my farm for 20 years. This has been a learning experience for me (LOL, I'm still learning). I feel it is time to establish a permanent community on the property (off-grid, organic, natural). It takes a community to host volunteers. I can't do it alone anymore. So, I'm looking for those folks who have the vision, determination, to help create a caring community that protects the land and helps heal each other. I have been reaching out for some time and wonder where the folks are who want to be part of starting up a community? I'm just curious. Coweeta is located in the mountains of Western North Carolina in a small valley (no power and little development). It was home to Native Americans and early settlers. I lived for 18 years in the last of the log cabins built here in the early 1800s. I'm now building an earth-bermed housed with solar. A 1/4 acre raised-bed garden is well established (tons of leaf compost every year). A saw mill and white pine stand provide plenty of lumber for building. I'm currently working on a wood-fired kiln for drying lumber. A hydro system with solar added on provides power for the farm. A few trailers provide temporary housing for folks. So, if you are looking for a home, please ck out my host site here on ic.org (Coweeta Heritage Center/Talking Rock Farm).
