> · Politically progressive
> · Environmentally conscious
> · Quiet and considerate
> · Have (positive) experience living cooperatively
> · Gay-friendly, like kids and animals
> · Enjoy gardening and would like to garden cooperatively
> · Have or can raise at least $200k
> Other pluses would be: potter, woodworker or other artist or musician,
> horse person (potential for horses immediately adjacent)
> If this doesn't describe you, please go no further.  If it does, please
> tell us a little about yourself and we will send you more information
> and pictures and go from there.
