We are building a new cooperative community of independent, private individuals designed to provide natural, compassionate support to its members who share compatible, complementary beliefs, goals and values. Our community’s goal is to honour the rights of humans to eat, work, live and love in a place where they have truth, justice and peace to create a true, sustainable human home.
WHAT WE BELIEVE Food is at the center of human success and enjoyment of life. Humans best enjoy life when there is no unnecessary harm to humans and/or animals. Humans nourishing themselves with natural food and water can save more of what they receive and earn. Human enjoyment of life is directly related to compassion expressed for all creatures including humans.

- Create a homestead on leased land with portable water and electricity
- Progress from tents to tiny homes

I am considering joining your village, but I have some questions and concerns. My first concern is as follows: Would you expect me to put my cat on a vegan diet? Secondly, I’m married, would my husband be able to live with me? Lastly, if I have medical issues which make a vegan diet unsafe for me, would I receive a medical exception to the veganism rule? A vegan diet for me would be a life of being on a lot of medications, higher risks of stroke, and being underweight.
i can join you
Hello! I hope this finds you well.
I have been mostly living outside of the US for the past 9 years. Prior to the pandemic I was running a vegan reforestation project in India called Sadhana Forest. I am currently in Namibia with Sadhana Forest establishing a new location for vegan reforestation work. Though I’ve gained so much from the time abroad I am seeking out vegan projects in the US. I would love to learn more about ECO22. When I get back from Namibia later this summer I plan to do a road trip to explore communities and projects in the US. It would be wonderful to meet you and to see if there is an opportunity for collaboration, or to potentially join your community down the line if the fit feels right.
I look forward to hearing back!
Warmly,
Brandon
