Our vision for Burns Village and Farm is a multigenerational neighborhood where residents enjoy privacy in their own homes alongside warm, supportive relationships with the people next door. A place where neighbors come together regularly for shared meals, activities, and laughter.
At the heart of the community is a small, sustainable farm run by a professional farmer who provides fresh produce to residents. You support the farm by living here, not by working on it, and participation is always optional. Along the way, members are learning and practicing skills like consensus decision-making, respectful communication, and sustainable living that protects the land for the long term.
