We are a decentralized rural community sharing 240 acres of canyon land in eastern Washington. The two main parcels are nonprofit corporations with dweller-owned homes, some on and some off the grid. Five adjoining parcels are owned by alumni.
We are 50 people whose lifestyles and interests are varied: from seasonal laborers and weekenders to rural commuters to primitivists who rarely leave the canyon; from high-tech to no-tech; from carnies to vegans.
Our differing pursuits include growing organic food to eat and sell, self-sufficiency, potlucks, parenting, homeschooling, carpentry, cooking, carnivorous plants, permaculture, massage, herbs, art, seed saving, gentle forestry, crafts, flowers, orchards, bee keeping, natural building, reading, relaxing, rebellion, rituals, music, and compost.
