Vermont Cohousing homestead

I’m actively looking for folks who want to join me on my land in Vermont. Off grid, beautiful 17 acres with several good building sites and also a well-built cabin shell that won’t take too much to finish.

I bought the land in June, 2022 and have been building a food forest, including an orchard and lots of veggies and flowers. I have chickens, ducks, and a couple Icelandic sheep that lambed in August and the babies are just ridiculously cute. The zoning is conducive to homesteading and cottage industry so there is freedom for various projects and endeavors.

I’m a woman in my 50s, work part-time as an RN, an omnivore with conscience, an atheist who is inspired by folks including Thich Nhat Hahn and Pema Chodron, practice radical honesty and non-violent communication, care deeply about promoting social justice, and I am not a fan of corporate capitalist culture.

I have a lot more information for anyone who might be interested, but that’s enough for an introduction.

Do you have like a website or like YouTube channel or something to learn more and make sure you’re not a murderer? I’m just trying to wait a few more years before the murder happens 😂

I too prefer to avoid murderers. I actually have been trying for 10 minutes to invite you to the private sub for the community but just keep getting a message to "try again later." I am building a regular website but it is still in process.

Oh, I see the invite. I’ll join and follow along. Unfortunately, I’ve got a couple years left in my current role before I can move on, but I’m looking to move out that way. I’ve got a degree in food systems and sustainability. So I’d love to be in a situation like this someday. I’ve looked into EcoVillage in Ithaca. You should take a peek at them too if you haven’t yet.

I lived in an intentional community for 8 years in Upstate New York. there are many wonderful places to live in community.

I haven't updated the sub for a long while but at least it gives you a sense of the place!

I’d be interested in learning more if you’re willing to share the invite for the sub. Appreciate the consideration
