WORK
We have a mixed organic farm, an organic vegetable and fruit garden, a
weavery, a creamery, wood-workshop, paper-making workshop and a bakery.
Our produce; cheeses, dairy products, meat, bread and craft products are
sold widely and have a high reputation. Working, often as part of a
team, caring for the land and the animals, in our workshops and in our
houses, is an important aspect of our life.
Work that can serve the wider world is very important for the sense of
self-worth and purpose it brings to our lives.
No one who is a member of the community receives wages. The community
aims to create an environment where individuals of differing needs and
abilities can live and work together to create an environment to which
each can make a meaningful contribution and have his/her inner and outer
needs met.
SOCIAL/CULTURAL/COMMUNITY LIFE
The social and cultural life of the community is rich and challenging;
The festivals of the year, the unfolding seasons, our lives together are
opportunities for celebration. Plays, music, ceilidhs, harvest meals,
gatherings, artistic and craft activity and exploration, individual and
group creativity all go to enhance the quality of our life and the life
of the community.
