Community Farm Goes Global!

We're saving the environment by saving money and having fun!

Not a not-for-profit, not really a business (definitely agriculture, not agribusiness), Ash Grove's mission is to make wholesome food and decent housing available to everybody, to demonstrate to the public and to other farmers that food can be grown in ways that are both economically and ecologically sustainable, and to show how easy it can be to regrow a sense of Community.

We are physically located at the roof of the Susquehanna Watershed, five miles south of Corning, NY (New York State's third most popular tourist destination), a region of tremendous beauty and ancient magic.

With the addition of our web site in Apr 1997 we have expanded our vision and our Community to include the whole world!

Meet us at Ash Grove Farm's Page and please forgive the few missing links which are still under construction. I promise, the Goat Milk Fudge recipe is on its way!

Re: Community Farm Goes Global!

Hi there!

I am researching CSA in New York and would like to find out more about
the Ash Grove Farm. However the link to their web page from your article does not work. Do you know what the new address is and could you please send it to me.


Thank you,

Hello i'd like to live in a spiritually (Self awareness) oriented community/ ecovillage, pref. in Cal., Oreg., Wash., Ariz., N.M., or Hawaii...
In addition to working 4-7 hours a day, i'd hope there is free time and a place to play and practise music (mostly piano and synth) and art...
I am now living in Santa Cruz, Cal.
I am using someone else's computer, and can get occasional E-mail when he's there.
My phone # is 1-831-479-4560.

Kind Loving EcoVillage?

Don't believe the hype!

volunteer in the GA mountains if you like to be treated poorly by a contentious witch!

there are only three people living here now and two of those are leaving in the coming months,

there is a reason!

i say to all good people; there are so many places to be treated with respect and basic human dignity...

this is not one of them.

hi

thought this might be of interest ...

pure portugal is a worker's co-operative (a uk company, but we're based in portugal) who, amongst other things (two of us are also members of catalyst collective - helping people set up and run housing & worker's co-ops - see www.eco-action.org/catalyst), act as an intermediary service for people looking to buy property and those with property for sale in central portugal.

we have a bias towards property suitable for small-holdings, self-sufficiency, low-impact living, eco-building, communities, etc.

an entire village (see details below) has just been listed on our website and we are very keen to find buyers who would be interested in setting it up as an eco-village, intentional community, or similar.

we'd be very grateful if you could pass the details on to anyone who you think may be interested.

if you would like any more information, please ask!

best wishes, sophie


Chumbaria, near Leiria
Photos: http://www.pureportugal.co.uk/chumbaria.html

Village of 14 part-renovated buildings in 2.7 hectares.

This village is hard to describe as it has so many possibilities!

Set in 2.7 hectares of terraced land scented with eucalyptus and with
far-reaching and stunning views (even a sea view on clear days!), are 14
buildings that have been partially restored, with most of the major work
already done.

About half of the buildings could easily be restored as 2-3 bedroom
cottages.

There is a huge room that has been partially renovated with the
intention of providing a bar/cafe/shop or similar. Outside is a large
patio area with fantastic views over the village and countryside.

A large barn has been converted to provide male & female shower & toilet
facilities.

One of the buildings has been renovated and provides 4 rooms, each with
its own outside access to a small courtyard.

A further large building (originally used for making wine and retaining
the original giant fermentation vats) has been partially divided to
provide individual rooms and a shower-room/wc.

All the buildings have new or repaired roofs, new windows & doors.

There is also a large ruin (just 2 walls are still standing) which could
be rebuilt.

Electricity & telephone are connected. There are 2 septic tanks. There
is a well for water and mains water can be connected for approx. 1,000
euros.

The land is fairly steep and mostly terraced. However, there is space
for a large swimming pool.

Access to the village is along a good track.

Chumbaria is in a beautiful and peaceful location; within walking
distance to small supermarkets, bars, & cafe; Leiria, and the A1
motorway, is just 15 mins drive, and the coast only 30 mins. Lisbon is
under one hour away.

PRICE: 500,000 euros (negotiable).

Church of the Living God Ministries
Chintalapet Gannavaram-521 101 ,Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh India
Pastor N Joseph Raju



Greetings to you in the wonderful name our Lord Jesus Christ, It is my privilege to introduce myself to you . I am N Joseph Raju, born and brought up in a Christian family having Formal education in the school, I am the second one in twin out of Six children in the family, the Lord called me for the ministry in theVery prime of my youth like Jacob and Joseph, I had a great zeal to work for the Lord and win souls for Christ. I prayed, the Lord
gave me vision, the vision and calling confirmed by the elders of the church thru signs, then I was sent to Bible school for pastoral training by
Home church in obedience to the call of God in order to fulfill the
great commission as our part in the world, There in the Bible school
3 year I have studied, going thru very difficult times of spiritual struggle,
Poverty, and insults from fellow mates, out of all these trials make me
Strong in faith, hope and love. On 2nd May 1991 I was graduated.

After graduation came to the home state of Andhra Pradesh and wait
upon the Lord for His guidance to do the work in a planned way to
reach the unreached people , meeting the needs of tribal and sharing
the gospel to untold millions in the villages towns and slums. As we wait
upon the Lord, He revealed thru His word to start the ministry in the
name of CHURCH OF THE LIVING GOD MINISTRIES. Even
after the guidance of the Lord we share this news to the church people and elders, after the counsel of the elders we launch into the legal activity to Registered the church of the living God ministries as a charity. We registered this as a Christian charitable Trust. Now this trust is having all kinds of permissions from the Govt . of India to use for the ministry for the furtherance of the Gospel in India

We have established small congregations in different villages. Every
Year we are conducting annual gospel meetings, conducting outreaches,
Tract distribution from door to door, street preaching. This way the
ministry winning the lost souls, comforting the widows and orphan children in their distress time.
Our rural churches are running in a thatched house and mud houses. As the souls are coming to the Lord this kind of physical uncomforts are not countable when we see the glory of God and great harvest.
By the grace of God I have got married in 1996 Feb 15th. The Lord blessed
me physically With 2 boys and 2 girls along with the spiritual family is growing every month souls are adding to the church. My wife Suseela kiran takes care of the women fellowship and the children ministry. This makes m to understand that I am in perfect will of God. The ministry is in great need of
1. Gospel Tracts 10,000+ Holy Bibles 100 ( Telugu)
2. P.A System for church and outreach
3. Motor cycle small- 2
4 Auto Rickshaw- 3 Wheeler( Old one 8 seated )-1 for outreach to long distance villages
I am working among the tribal, Dalits, and leprosy victims, there are 50 leprosy victims were come to the Lord among them 20 were baptized by me , so please pray for them they need church and a roof for their settlement. Please come and see our great work in the Lord
I am cordially inviting you and your team to India to participate in our church annual meetings in the villages, so that I will extend the invitation for you officially
We are all praying for you and your ministry and family, please pray and
remember this ministry. As a man of God I am humbly requesting you, so please pray, visit and extend the support to this ministry as the Lord leads you. We are expecting your reply for the good cause
