What we do

We are a cohesive group of like-minded singles, couples, elders, teens and children that by unity have come together to prepare for the coming times of financial hardship and cataclysmic events that could challenge our way of living as we know it today – sharing knowledge, skills, resources and labor to ensure our future and well-being.

We are looking for sound, responsible, service-minded individuals to join our community who are willing to share positive skills. Our current members have a variety of skills including maintenance, farm work (livestock and agriculture), teachers, doctors, permaculture, mechanics, electricians, paramedics, dentists, and security, all professions and skills are accepted.

All faiths, cultures and individuals who are passionate about preserving life and taking care of day-to-day operations are encouraged to join.

We accept well socialized dogs, cats and birds.
