Food & Energy Self-Reliant Village

It’s time to form our tribe! We are Daniel & Patti AngelsAgrarian and have been developing our homestead for our food and energy self-reliance since 1990. We are located 21 miles north of Spokane, WA. The land we set aside for the village is 8 acres and has a year-round stream running thru it.

Here is what is unique about our IC start up effort, we are offering this land in trade to those who have asserted they want to establish themselves as an IC on it and are willing to expand by becoming organic produce growers for market. We already have a produce stand set up for sales of these types. We are fully equipped with a tractor, tiller and other implements, a backhoe, snow removal equipment, and etc. infrastructure list very long. We can freeze and preserve our produce and have a root cellar where we store root crops for our winter use. See photos we have provided below showing all of this.

This land was accessed last year at a value of $96,020. What we ask in trade for this is helping us in our retirement years, and after we pass away, you will have been written in our wills to gain full inheritance of our home, its acreage and all the infrastructures for self-reliant living that we have put together over the decades. Both of our acreages have their own debt-free deed.

We understand that the above is hard to believe about what we are offering, but we are doing so because we have no family members who are interested and capable to doing this. Therefore, the offer we are making is the best way we can conceive of keeping everything that we done on our homestead over decades available to future generations. If you find this offer attractive, come tour the land and then decide if this is what you want to do or can do.

We have mastered our homesteading lifestyle but do not know much about how to put together and keep together an IC. Therefore, the best way for us to work this is to find another or others who are interested in earning the 8 acres by the work he/she/they do for us on our home and land each month as payment, and this would be written up legally in the standard real estate contract way. No interest charges. In this way, one would gain clear title and full ownership over time.

We also offer a couple of sponsored positions to that might be interesting to a jack-of-all-trades handyman. We have a newish travel trailer we have set on our land to dwell in, or you could bring your own. The handyman could gain income from managing, maintaining, and providing security for all community members. The other position is for a female housekeeper who has vegetarian cooking, cleaning, and organizing experience and has a New Age spirituality background. A quiet, meditative, clean, tidy, cooperative type of person would be a perfect match in our home.

What inspired us to live as we do and has us reaching out in this way to develop this community has been the result of what the Hopi Elders advised at http://www.communityworks.info/hopi.htm. They offer important direction to humanity as we enter an era of crucial and disruptive changes that are unfolding for us all today. The Hopi ask and say, as we do also…

“What are you doing? What are your relationships? Are you in the right relation? Where are you living? Where is your water?” Additionally, “Know your garden,” and realize that “The time for the lone wolf is over.” All the Hopi are saying is that it would be prudent for people to think about where one wants to be and with whom before one is overtaken by the social, economic, environmental, and other shifts currently unfolding around the world. “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”
