About Us
WHO WE ARE
Imagine waking up to the sound of bells from a temple to share in a morning yoga ritual overlooking the mountains of Peru, or the glittering Pacific Ocean in Hawaii.
Picking fresh vegetables from your neighborhood garden to cook in a community-wide meal in a spacious, shared kitchen.
Building your own non-toxic, mortgage-free cob house in a low-impact neighborhood of like-minded nature lovers.
Stepping out of your very own treehouse to gaze at a network of aerial walkways that look like something out of a sci-fi movie.
These ideals bring people together with common goals of harmonic living, artistic exploration and sustainability.

MORE ABOUT US:
At Farmaggedon life can be the easier, softer way.
We feel that some time ago society got away from itself, and is going a little crazy.
Here we are, looking to get back to basics, and be more friendly with our fellow man, and Mother Nature.
Through hard driving teamwork, and a communal style of living, we can produce a mostly self sustaining, eco-friendly, organic farming compound.

Our ultimate aim is to become a pioneer of the green movement.
We will be looking into many alternative energy sources such as Geo-Thermal, Windmill/Turbine, Solar, and Compost systems.
Using these tools we will produce the finest small batches of organic crops to sustain us.
We will also be working very closely with some of our rescued friends from the animal kingdom as coworkers.

We do not have a group religion; our beliefs are diverse. We do not have a central leader; we govern ourselves by a form of democracy with responsibility shared among various managers, planners, and committees.
We are self-supporting economically, and partly self-sufficient. We are income-sharing. Each member works 42 hours a week in the community's business and domestic areas. Each member receives housing, food, healthcare, and personal spending money from the community.
Farmageddon incorporates a variety of ecological practices. Our choice to share houses and cars reduces our footprint on the earth; Because we work in our community-owned businesses on our land, our commute involves a short walk through the woods instead of using fuel. When we do drive (for business or social reasons), we carpool extensively.We build our own buildings, and although our building techniques in terms of structure of the building are fairly conventional, we incorporate a wide variety of alternative energy features. These include passive solar features (large south-facing windows to light and heat the building), super-insulation, skylights and sun tubes for natural lighting, cellulose insulation in some places (instead of fiberglass), wood heat (using wood from our own forests and scrap from our sawmill) in almost all of our buildings, solar hot water, photovoltaic solar electricity in one residence, multi-use of most spaces, permaculture landscaping around buildings, and more.

Growing a significant portion of our food in our organic garden also helps us be more sustainable, by not using pesticides, and by reducing the amount of food we buy that needs to be transported by trucks. We also buy most purchased food in bulk, thereby reducing packaging.
