Common Ground Ecovillage is the dream of a visionary community of people to create a regenerative agrarian village cooperative located on 113 acres in the Piedmont area of North Carolina, USA, dedicated to racial justice, simpler Earth-sustainable living, and growing our own organic food. The village is yet to be built but we are actively farming the land and growing, educating, and strengthening our community in preparation to build our homes and move in. This is a great time to explore our community and get involved! Subscribe and tune in often as we add more videos to share what we're about and introduce you to our various initiatives.
Thank you for sharing I love that you show the rose and thorns it is relatable. Thank you for all your hard work and contribution to steward the land. You’re inspiring!!
Isn’t that amazing the people of the planet want to try to protect him and preserve it and work with it and the corporations, pharmaceuticals big agriculture want nothing more than to control it destroy it and profit from it. Revelation 11:17….
Hello, I am 25 years old and I am from the Outer Banks. I cut grass by myself for a living but I cant seem to get settled anywhere. All of the housing is turning into airbnbs in the summer and I now have to live / work out of my truck. Its very hard. Food is way too expensive and even if i find a place to live its like 1000$ a month in rent. I have lawncare and construction tools (lawnmower, weedwacker, backpack blower, boxes of power tools (drills and saws)) and I think I could be very good help for you guys. I am tired of living like this. I am broke but I will work to live with you guys. I have no family to help me, no friends, nothing. My dream for years has been to move into the woods away from so many people and I would very very much appreciate an opportunity with you guys. I can talk over the phone with you if you want. My number is 252-401-3437 Looking forward to a reply Thanks -Brian

it's cool to see what happens during the winter! I'm a total noob to knowing what is harvested then and actually seeing the "beige" and what's going on is helpful, as we don't normally visit the farms til it warms up! blessings
Potatoes, pumpkins, and kale have all been good staple crops for us over the years. Daikon radishes are also a nice late crop. Do you have any animals?
I'm interested in starting a Housing Co-op in Charlotte, is there anyone that can offer any advice? Particularily needing help finding a real estate attorney that knows about co-ops Edit: I found one thru the Cooperative Council of NC..one step closer 😁
I work hard, have a good attitude, have good social discretion, believe in y'all's cause, and would be ecstatic if I could be involved in something like this. How do I get reviewed for an opportunity?
Thanks for asking! There's all kinds of opportunities to get involved, both on the farm and in the building of the community and village. I recommend becoming a member by completing a JOIN form at www.commonground.eco/become-a-member/
Yes! As are volunteers! Reach out at welcome@commonground.eco to request a tour to visit the farming operation, or complete a JOIN form to become a member of our ecovillage community. :) www.commonground.eco/become-a-member/
Its pretty obvious the current model will not work indefinitely. I really admire those willing o step out and try something different. Hard road ahead. I wish you the best.
You guys and Natalie are amazing. Thanks for loving our temperamental Pachamama. Knowing how much you care about the crops and the outcome adds sweetness to the spinach and rutabagas!
