Share land.

Buy land. Share it with others.

Grow New Brunswick into a garden paradise.

We invite you to help us create a paradise in New Brunswick. There are plenty of abandoned farms all along the rural roads, waiting to become rural neighbourhoods, filled with micro farms and garden homesteads.

Or, perhaps you are a land owner, or know a land owner, who will be willing to begin the journey of sharing their land in order to create a vibrant rural neighbourhood. Imagine…one hundred acres can become nearly 20-30 homestead lots. Homes creating a rich tapestry of gardens, kids playing together, families helping each other, celebrating together.

It is time to purchase abandoned rural land and share it with others, or share what you already have, freely. This is part of the foundation for creating rural neighbourhoods: making land accessible to all, at no cost. Yes, no cost. Accessibility to land should not require anyone to open their wallets. Now is the time to share land and remove the thought of purchasing and selling land for profit. Land is for living on, not profiting on.

The first step is to root yourself into a relationship with the earth, and create a home. Here you will find the peace of mind to begin the journey of healing our broken relations, of knitting together friendships with others.

The next step is extending a welcome to others, by sharing land with them freely. Creating community is the inner inclination to see the benefit of creating a community for all…no exceptions.

For nearly 15 years my partner and I have been investing our efforts to help develop a thriving neighbourhood. I will share as much of the details with you here as I can. You can read here personal stories and thoughts on the subject, and can reach out to me anytime to ask questions about this journey.

Without a doubt, the natural world around me has been a medicine for over 30 years. The dramatic skies, the gentle greenery, the animal life…they all help bring peace of mind, without which it would be impossible for me to help develop a community.

That’s a start! I will share more here in time. Trust that you have everything inside you that you need to make it happen.

Here is an introductory guide create by the Foundation for Intentional Communities entitled, “Starter Guide to Intentional Communities.”

We have just begun the new iteration of this site as of September, 2021. The old one can be accessed here, and you are invited to read further my personal thoughts on the subject of creating rural neighbourhoods, below:

  Go east, young woman
  A letter from a possible New Brunswick future. Dear New Brunswickers, I’m excited for next week. It’ll be Wednesday March 6, 2030 and I’ll be heading to the Land Services office of New Brunswick in Fredericton. My family is hoping that parcels of land will still be available outside of Fredericton. I am certain there… Continue reading Go east, young woman

  The Given Land
  Sharing here an article by German journalist, Uta-Caecilia Nabert, about our journey of sharing land in rural Canada. Uta visited us a few years ago and created this article for a German readership. Not long after it was translated and shared in English. Here it is: Link to English Article I am sharing this primarily… Continue reading The Given Land

  You are needed.
  Are you longing for community? You can create a community, a real one, with people of all ages who become kind neighbours to you. And this is much easier to do in the forgotten back roads of our rural landscapes. If you are willing to step outside the comforts and conveniences of our overbuilt, over-populated… Continue reading You are needed.

  The Gift of Land
  Dear folks, Thank you for being here. For many, the idea of creating a rural neighbourhood may not be your focus. But likely there will be a few for whom it may. Perhaps the growing interest in a ‘Gift’ economy may be a plausible means to assist community founders in acquiring land to share.  Sharing… Continue reading The Gift of Land

First, I am simply one part of many moving parts that came together to create our community. Some would say I played a pivotal role, as… Continue reading The Flourishing Dirt Road
