Community Guidelines

Smoking is only allowed outside and in certain areas. Please ask Kearey where you are allowed to smoke. Keep alcohol use respectful.

Recycling and trash: There are bins in the kitchen house for glass, compost material, metal, paper and cardboard, plastic, and landfill (regular trash). These bins are emptied by community members on a weekly basis.

Community dinner and meetings: We try to have at least one communal dinner per week, as well as one community meeting per week. Apprentices and volunteers are expected to be present for the beginning of the meetings. This is a time to check-in and discuss your hopes, fears, dreams, complaints, and anything else you would like to bring to the table.

Apprentices / Visitors: Please let as many community members as possible know when visitors are expected, how long they will stay, and where they will sleep.

Phone: If you answer kitchen or community house phones, be sure to take a detailed message and post it on the cork-board. You should have your own calling card if you intend to use the phone to make long-distance calls, or you can make payment arrangements with Susan. Do not answer or use the business phone in the garden shed.

Parking: Please park your car in the guest lot. Do not drive off-road or through the garden. 

Organic Vegetables and Fruits: Our homegrown, organic vegetables and fruits are available for community consumption, but please ask what is available to eat at any given time.
