How to Join

 
 

Choosing cohousing means choosing more than a home. It's choosing a lifestyle of real connection, where you share meals and events, make decisions together, and build everyday relationships with neighbors who truly have your back. A decision like that deserves time and care.

 
 
 

There are 3 steps to joining Burns Village & Farm

1: Learn

It all starts with wanting to know more. At this stage, you're just beginning to learn what we're all about.

  • Attend an online info session to learn about the project, meet some of the members and learn more about our values and who we are.

  • Subscribe to our newsletter to learn about us, get updates, and learn about our members.

  • Come to a community lunch or in-person event to meet the members in a casual setting.

  • Join us for a site tour to see where our future community will take shape

 

2: Explore

When you're ready to go deeper, the next step is becoming an Explorer. You'll get the full picture of the community, the project, and everything you need to know before deciding to join.

  • We open the books for you with everything you need to make an informed decision about who we are, from the site map and home floor plans, to finances, the guidelines we've created so far and much more.

  • You're paired with a buddy who can answer your questions, show you how the community works, and guide you through the Explorer process.

  • Attend events like Member meetings to see how we conduct business, Virtual Social hours, in-person lunches or potlucks to get to know each other on a personal level.

 

3: Join as a Member

This final step makes you an official part of Burns Village & Farm!

  • As a founding member, you'll have a real voice in shaping the community from the ground up.

  • You'll join one of our action teams, where you'll help make decisions and bring the vision to life.

  • Take part in our regular members-only meetings and join the final architect workshop to help finalize the details of your home.
