What we do

We will be an earth-friendly community with shared values around love, respect, and inclusivity. We expect to be forming during most of 2024 while we envision and plan what kind of community we can be. There will be perhaps 12 homes at most, depending on how they are built. This is a beautiful, sloping property about 40 minutes east of progressive Asheville, NC, in Western NC, which has several national forests and hundreds of waterfalls. Please join our Zoom meetings to contribute your beauty to the vision.

Our Vision

We are now creating our formal mission statement, and some of the values we have discussed include making room for everyone’s voice, being flexible, creating a eco-friendly development, growing some of our own food, transmitting our values through song. Please see our website for details.
