Thanks for sharing this tour, very helpful. I was just looking into ecocommunities in the Asheville area as I really had a good vibe when I visited there a few years ago and Im looking for a place that I can share my skills in horticulture, farming,construction,etc. to help people but also looking to start a different version of my business which I repair and restore clocks, but I want to build custom clocks from scratch instead of repairing antiques. So Im looking for a inexpensive studio/workshop space plus a simple place to live.
There is something of a studio/workshop in progress at Earthaven, possibly with plans as a cooperative space. I don't know much about the details or what's happening with it now. After visiting several communities (20 in fact) we moved to Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage. Interesting that you mention custom clocks. I'm trying to figure out how to earn some money by making crafty things, and clocks are one of the items i've considered. I have an idea for a fairly unique clock design that i may or may not ever be able to actually build, and it might also be fun to just make custom enclosures for normal clock movements. Have you been making clocks already?
It’s a novelty lifestyle where you either have money and you’re the “owner”, or you’re a commoner where you pay rent or worktrade somehow. Work-trade is indentured servitude. It’s a grift. Best you try and explore these communities before you commit to the lifestyle. Capitalism sucks, but communism under the direction of capitalism is hell.

Wow. A very beautiful ecovillage.
Thanks! Good overview, I had no idea it was so big, so spread out. Pretty terrain.
Where are all the people Looks deserted
If i remember right, we took the video on a cold fall morning and most people were in their warm and cozy places.

At 14:32 there’s a Norwood or similar sawmill ... let’s cut wood ☺️🤓

Kevin Banks just Google Earthaven and get in touch with them. You'll need to visit first then learn about the membership process.
