nterested in self-sufficiency? Want to help build a community? Love
the sea? Our collective, on an organic farm a few hours north of Oslo,
is for anyone who wants to learn and work hard. We grow food, boats
and ideas, so if you have a knowledge or interest in permaculture,
farming, boat building, or sailing, come and help us create a home
that is sustainable both on land AND out at sea! We are building a
sailboat (the first of many), with the hope that when she sets sail
(hopefully 2012/2013) we will visit other eco-villages around the
world, collecting knowledge and travelling in the most eco-friendly
way possible. Anyone who helps will have the chance to join our crew,
a tribe of floating sea-gypsies! We also need help on the farm, as we
build up the infrastructure to form a stable base for our community.
This project is relatively new; we began in 2009 so there is still a
lot to be done. We live with two dogs, the farm cat and some (very)
free-range chickens. We keep bees and make jam; this year we harvested
our first crop of potatoes and planted next seasons raspberries.
Eventually we hope to grow all our food. We want to create a place
that will flourish as our boats start sailing, a place where crops,
thoughts, adventures, and of course boats, can grow! Want more info?
