Andrew, your Eco-Village seems like it's just what my family and I are looking for. I'd definitely be interested in more details and to see if there's anything we could do to contribute.
Currently, my wife and I have been researching and visiting different intentional communities with our soon-to-be two year old daughter. We live in New York now, but fell disconnected from the unsustainable, money-chasing, consumer lifestyle so prevalent here. We feel like there's a better way to live, more in touch with nature and in harmony with our planet, and we want to introduce this life to our daughter before she gets too old. We've visited some nice communities so far and have met some inspiring people doing amazing things for this world but don't feel like we've found the right fit just yet. But your community, utilizing permaculture practices while being family friendly with a children's school sounds exactly like the vision in our mind of what we're looking for.
We don't have much experience managing a 1 hectare plot, but we are growing some fruit, vegetables, and herbs now on our 1/4 acre suburban lot trying to incorporate some permaculture principles while learning as much as we can. I'm currently working as a mechanical engineer and my wife, in addition to raising our daughter, teaches yoga and started her own holistic herbal medicine business, so we hopefully have some other valuable skills that we can bring to the community.
So please let me know if there are any other details you can share or if there's anything else you'd like to know about us and we'll see if it's a good fit.
