About the Community

What we do

It’s peaceful here in the Okanogan Highlands. Three humans, six goats, two dogs, three cats, and about thirty chickens. We live in campers, use solar, haul water, and catch rain. We spend a surprising amount of time hauling water around. Buckets for toilets. Creative people are welcome. We like building things and growing things. We are setting up a local alternative currency network and we are active at the community garden in town 20 minutes away. John is an Enneagram 9, Laura is a 5, and Steven is a 4. Our ages range from 37 to 73. That’s probably enough about us. If you want to visit, please know that temperatures can range from 110+ to 30 below. We’re at 1800 feet elevation, and changes are sometimes swift! It’s beautiful though. We welcome humans of all ages from all ethnic backgrounds, gender expressions, and sexual orientations.

Our Mission

We raise livestock, and we do sometimes cull and eat animals that we raise. Slaughter is done with respect and care, and only as the need arises. We do not raise any animals for this sole purpose. Visitors are welcome to observe and participate if they approach the process with sobriety, respect, and the willingness to be involved in all aspects of caring for the animals during their lives as well as the processing, food production, and cleanup after they are slaughtered.
