Asian 1111 (FWS) Embodied Deep Ecological Living: Human Communities

Founded in 1991, 3 connected neighborhoods created over several years, houses and buildings built to state-of-the-art ecological standards, c.210 residents of all ages and occupations living with "working farms, office spaces, community gardens, meadows, ponds and woodlands." Each neighborhood has a community center. Residences range from rental studio apartments to family houses. "A culture of extensive sharing includes easy access to carpools, re-use of electronics, clothes, toys and furniture, as well as shared video and book libraries. Our three Common Houses include shared children’s play areas, laundry facilities, offices, guest rooms, beautiful dining areas and community kitchens. A community woodshop, work-out room, sauna and swimming ponds are available to residents as well. A tractor and several mowers are owned by the Village for everyone’s use."
