Coworking may be distant kin to community canneries, which there are a
few of in Southwest Virginia, USA. For a nominal fee you can book time
to use professional (and health department / department of agriculture
certified) equipment. That means unlike if you do canning at home you
can sell what you can.
My hypothetical constituency actually does include some engineering /
mechanical types. We have some community members working to set up
portable biodiesel refineries -- the question is, could a rural
coworking space be flexible enough to accommodate web development and
media types but still also have space for a soldering workstation or
musical rehearsal room?
I imagine low population density may mean we would have to cast our net
a bit wider.

I'm interested in rural applications for the coworking concept. Are there
any rural coworking spaces to look at as models?
This makes me wonder if coworking could ever apply to non-desk jobs.
Could this kind of organizing apply to farmers or mechanics or cooks?
