So, do you all dance naked around a drum circle and sacrifice goats?
Only on Saturdays.
KIDDING. We DO converse and parent around bonfire circles. We DO raise chickens and hope to have more beneficial animals in the community in the future. But, we are not some sort of "compound", "commune", "religious thing". Believe me, we've heard it all. Some of us have strong beliefs. Some of us are atheists. Some of us love gardening. Some of us own dogs. Some of us make dandelion syrup. :)
We are just people, like those in your neighborhood. The only difference is that we've chosen to live in a community where everyone contributes and we value our relationships.
We are both an intentional community and a co-housing community.
So, ya'll live together?
Not in the same house! We have a porch neighbor, so the set up is similar to a duplex but with a full house on either side.
We share meals about once per week, yard work, gardening, and responsibilities for upkeep and promotion of our community. Yes. We want you to know about us. No. We are not trying to "recruit" you or make you drink our kool-aid. ;)
What's unique about us is that we all have daily interaction with neighbors, there's no driving between homes so children are safe to play, and we strive to leave a small carbon footprint.
Some of our eco-initiatives include composting, permaculture practices, small scale gardening, solar panels, geothermal heating/cooling, creation of rain gardens, rain water collection barrels, and raising our own chickens. Most of us are striving to live in an eco-friendly manner. We learn from one another on best practices and new practices.
Twice per year we hold a Village Fest to invite our larger community - Frederick County, Howard County, Montgomery County, Carroll County, and beyond - to visit, tour, and learn with us. We welcome visitors at any point and would love to have you for one of our summer events - meals, hot dog roasts, or other celebrations.
Feel free to reach out to ask any and all questions or come on over for a visit! Come back to the blog for some educational, funny, and super rad posts from the residents of Liberty Village!
