Cohousing-L Mailing List: A question for communities with farms

[Judith Bush (jbush]

After our first decade of co-functioning at Cobb Hill Cohousing in Hartland, 
Vermont, we are all bravely plunging into a review of how we are organized 
in relation to our co-owned resources (farmland and farm buildings, forest, 
social community).  One goal of this endeavor is to see whether our existing 
system of separate land-using enterprises, "organically" founded by subsets 
of residents and varying from successful commercial enterprises with 
livelihood-providing intentions to smaller hobby-scale projects, add up to 
what we could call holistic management.
We would benefit from knowing how other cohousing communities with a 
commitment to sustainable land management through farming in particular are 
organized.
Replies are welcome either on the listserve or directly to 
jbush [at] together.net.  Even just identifying yourself as part of a community 
with an agricultural component would be helpful.  Thanks!
