Our house in springtime
 We are an urban household that formed in 1990 based on five values--ecological responsibility, personal growth, diversity, equality, and community.
We share vegetarian dinners together four to six nights a week, nurture our relationships with one another, and share the joys and responsibilities of taking care of our home and large yard. We share expenses but not our incomes.
Visitors enjoy our garden and colorful 10-bedroom home. They often remark how neat well organized we are.
Our mission is "to be of service to others as an inspirational model of living and working together to create community and social change…" We are still searching how to make our mission a reality; how it unfolds is an ongoing journey.
We are not actively seeking members (owners) at this time; however, we enjoy meeting new people and from time to time, we look for compatible people who would like to rent a room.
