Wow!

I was looking at land in Oregon this afternoon (oodle.com is a very cool Real Estate search engine) and I came across this little gem of an offer:

What amazed me the most was how well it could dovetail into what K and I would like to do either on our own or, I suppose, with this group. They seem to be doing two things at once. Selling the idea of a planned farming community (complete with covenants) and the like and also creating a ready made organic farming cooperative.

It's compelling but also a bit concerning. I wouldn't consider moving forward with it until I knew what restrictions were in place and was very comfortable with the leadership of the cooperative.

The likelihood that they have or are working out the farm to market logistics and the thousand other variables for making a small, sustainable organic farm work are decent. I am intrigued I will just need to get some more information.

I plan to email the leadership today and request additional information on the rights/responsibilities and details as a potential investor-farmer in the cooperative.

I also came across this little site. I haven't had any time to look it over today but at first glance it looks like it could be a goldmine of information.
