Full Village Living Off Land & Craft Like Modern Amish: 350 Families & Growing
“You might hear the term prepper, and a lot of times that is stockpiling lots of things, stockpiling food or ammo.
Waco, Texas: 1200 members of the Homestead Heritage community have spent the past 5 decades working the land for their food, energy, water and livelihoods, both for their own health as well as that of the land. On about 500 acres of community-owned land, about 350 families are planting crops like wheat that they then grind for flour in their water-powered grist mill and then bake into bread that they sell at their restaurant. They have dozens of hand looms for weaving their own clothing (jackets included). There’s a blacksmith, leather workers, basket weavers, and furniture makers.
The members of this agrarian- and craft-based intentional Christian community aim to be as self-sufficient as possible in as many ways as possible. They are fully prepared in the event an economic collapse and systemic failure.
There are a lot of people that feel the shaking, there are a lot of people that recognize that things aren’t going to be able to go the way that they have and that changes are coming, explains Greg Godsey who co-owns the Heritage Coffee Shop and Heritage Architecture:
“You might hear the term prepper, and a lot of times that is stockpiling lots of things, stockpiling food or ammo. That’s not really our approach. The idea of stockpiling and the nature of it is not sustainable. That’s what the stockpile is that it’s going to have an end and we’re trying to think about it from an approach of, how can we recognize that there are changes coming, things are failing, things are not going to always go as they have and can we be doing something to prepare for that that has a look ahead in a positive way that can maybe teach people to sustain themselves or bring people together.”

This is a perfect idea and they seem to have their logic in the right place. Just one thing - they are way over the size of sustainability in terms of government seeing them as too big and they could easily be wiped out - with a fire or something else that may look "natural". What is needed is for these villages to have a limit of say 150 people (the Dunbar Number) and when they reach that size, some volunteers start up another village based on a siimilar structure only it could be slightly different.
For example it may not be Christian based or it may include some other markers. So then each village will have its own "flavor" and uniqueness about it (thus "choice") and learn from each other in a mind network. We need small villages everywhere! That is the antidote to government vandalism.
