('73, FL) 100 Families

MLC is a community of 100 families and individuals who together own over 300 acres situated nine miles east of Tallahassee. Co-op members privately own their own homesteads, which range in size form one acre to several acres each. Since the early days, they have had a 2-to-3-year waiting list for prospective members who would like to join the community and buy or build a house. A total of 90 acres is preserved in its natural state as common land, owned collectively and enjoyed by the entire membership. MLC members are drawn together by a common desire to live in a rural environment where the land is respected and interaction between neighbors is a sought-after experience. All activities (other than paying assessments for necessities such as taxes and insurance) are purely voluntary, allowing each person to choose the level of sharing and socializing she/he prefers. While they are a diverse group in age, occupation, and religious practices, many adults are in the prime years of their careers and are well along in the process of raising their families. Despite having very busy lives, they make time to celebrate the cooperative milestones, and to support one another in times of sickness or tragedy. They enjoy occasional potlucks, and have built a community center that is frequently the center for various local social, nonprofit, and activist happenings.
