A friend is looking for a third partner in a cooperative living venture. Details below:
We're closing on the purchase of 10 acres in Danby township next week. It's a rolling hillside with a dropdead gorgeous view of the Caroline hills and the Dryden hills, and it's about 4 miles from downtown Ithaca.We are looking for a third person(s) interested in quasi-communal living. We want to sell 3 acres to the third family/individual and want them to be committed to green building and to sharing the farm and pond. Each family will own their own parcel outright to facilitate the possibilities of having to sell or devise their property. We could each have edible landscaping and kitchen gardens around our own homes, and we could work together to farm the larger fields behind our houses. We hope to ultimately have a small orchard, solar greenhouse for year-round harvesting, barn, root cellar, pond and maybe as much as an acre of each parcel in farming. We want our land to be a demonstration of mini eco-farming and how it is possible to grow food in your own yard and have a beautiful landscape, too. We may eventually have a picnic area and/or a small cafe, and a vegetable, herb, and fruit stand. Eventually we also want a commercial kitchen where we can produce value-added products (canned goods and herbal preparations). We're open to other ideas as well. If you're interested in finding out more, email us at: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> and amica...@[email protected] <mailto:amica...@[email protected]>. -- _______________________________________________ For more information about sustainability in the Tompkins County area, please visit: http://www.sustainabletompkins.org/ RSS, archives, subscription & listserv information for: [email protected] http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/listinfo/sustainabletompkins Questions about the list? ask [email protected] free hosting by http://www.mutualaid.org
