These are really hard to write without sounding like you're making a cult. Let's try anyway.

What are we doing?
Establishing an intentional community in Liberty, Maine, centered on a communal living and food security. Our goal is to build a lifestyle where food production, storage, and land stewardship are the backbone of our daily rhythm.

Why are we doing it?
We want control over our lives in a way that modern capitalism doesn't offer.

Where are we doing it?
40 acres of mostly wooded land in Maine. This site is already owned, has a main structure with plenty of room, and is far enough from cities that building isn't a problem.

Who are we looking for?
People who want to work hard for a future that looks easier instead of more difficult.
Must love dogs, sorry but they were here first.
Someone who can communicate. This is super important.
Anyone with experience or interest in gardening, raising animals, or general homesteading projects.

Where is this community at, maturity wise?
Infancy! At this point we are looking for a person or a few people who want to build this community from the ground up. We do have space if people want to live on site, and the option to build a home or move something like a tiny home here would also be available.

What are our next steps?
Building infrastructure for food from compost to storage.
Finding some amazing community members.

Art studio with hosted artists a few times a year.

How can I get involved?
Reach out here and we will connect.

Oh, who are we?
A late thirties millennial couple.
Not religious.
Have lived in almost every corner and region of the US.
Incredibly interested in communal living and shared resources.
Really cool?
Lovers of boardgames and animals.
 
Hear that? The pitter patter of tiny ads.
