I'm not talking about the basic rural nuclear family that has a garden and a "Live Laugh Love" poster in the kitchen; those people are everywhere. I'm talking about groups of friends who share land or visit each other's neighboring land frequently. Folks who will come over and help harvest that new variety of dent corn you grew this year and take turns grinding it into masa for a tamale making party. People who understand the importance of community in food traditions, who think it's more fun to make jam with friends than alone. Even though I put this in the intentional community subforum, I'm not talking about an intentional community or ecovillage - usually those end up being kinda cultish and have all kinds of other weird baggage. Just talking about areas where there's a critical mass of community-minded homesteaders who don't live like hermits or nuclear family units.
