We have a seed distro, which distributes packages of heirloom/rare/open pollinated annual and perennial edibles at no charge (about 1000 packages a year currently). We use minimal electricity (less than 10 amps per household) and use alternative water systems (gray water recycling, gravity fed rainwater systems etc) as well as a variety of homesteading/sustainable living practices including permaculture, wildcrafting, food preservation, soap making, fiber arts (garment making, wool processing and production spinning, weaving), homebrew, humanure, natural building, etc.
Our land includes an acre of blueberries, a 1/4 acre forest garden, an acre in annual food production, and another 1 1/2 acres in orchard or perennials, a creek, octagonal log sauna, barn, community house, spring, lots of trees, and much much more!
