Our vision of the future for Burns Village & Farm is a multi-generational neighborhood where residents enjoy privacy in their own homes as well as supportive and congenial relationships with neighbors. We envision a neighborhood that includes and supports a small sustainable farm operated by professional farmers who provide produce to community members in exchange for this support. Community members are learning and practicing skills such as consensus decision-making, respectful communication, and sustainable living practices that protect nature’s systems.
