Living Areas
Thought goes into how we use our space and how our space is used in order to create harmony, productivity, comfort and ascetics.
Art
We recognize that things we produce can often be practical and esthetically pleasing at the same time. If an item is esthetically pleasing we may take better care of it so the item lasts longer.
Art is featured around the property.
Farming
Farming is an integral part of the property. For a very long time humans have had a connection with their food production and food collection.
All farming is at minimum organic standards preferably biodynamic. Permaculture is incorporated.
Three Churches Economics
Living does not cost much. Showing off does.
We save money by growing our own food and trading the excess.
We save money by eating what is in season since this is usually the cheapest produce.
We save money and the community money by not over eating.
We save the community money by only growing organic produce.
We save money by utilizing our network of friends, families and associates.
If we borrow something off someone we look after it. We return it in a timely manner better than when we received it. If we break or damage something we borrow then we own up to it and try and remedy the situation.
Before buying something
Can you
trade, barter, repair the one you have, negotiate, re use, recycle, reduce, rent it, make it, buy it second hand, borrow it, just don’t buy it, find the one you already have!
