('74, MO) 10 Members

A secular, egalitarian, family-style community living on an organic farm, with shared income & labor. Being small, they have little need for governing structures, although some work areas have facilitators or managerships which evolve on the basis of interest, knowledge, and group trust. Although their lives have some structure, they try to get along with as few rules as possible, living in cooperation and with sensitivity. Major decisions are made by consensus, with others left to individual discretion. How they reach decisions is often as important to them as what they decide. They grow most of their own food, and sell value-added farm products (sorghum, honey, tempeh, horseradish) as a community business. They get satisfaction from doing things for themselves, whether its making butter and cheese, repairing old machines, making their own entertainment, or building their own buildings. They recognize each person's need for private space and try to be supportive of individual interests and needs.
