There have been several Intentional Communities established in the state over the years, however, I know of none in this area. This, despite a great deal of interest that I have stumbled across.
I'd love it if we could come together on something.
What I would like to find is folks (from anywhere) who would help build a community that provides for basic needs and that could be used to teach skills. Individuals would be welcome to run a craft for their own enjoyment and profit, but food production, meals, water and power would be a _community_ effort. Any crafters would be encouraged to hold classes or at least allow onlookers.
I envision some (hopefully) inexpensive but good land relatively isolated, but near enough to civilization that we could allow people to visit and learn. If on or near one of our many rivers (a very green state) someone might eventually run a canoeing or camping outfitter. If anyone already has land that could be used, whether by donation or long term (cheap) lease, I'd certainly also be interested in talking.
( ED: Land will need access to a permanent water source. The Wolf river, among several, winds thru here, which may be an additional help. Farmland in this area can be as cheap as under $1000 per acre in bulk, but is more likely to be $3000 per acre or more for plots of under 50. Check someplace like zillow for examples. )
Non-denominational, respectful of beliefs/race and peaceful. Lots of fruit trees and perennials
Any takers?
