  Description

  We are a group of friends who have created a co-owned land project on the Olympic Peninsula. We purchased undeveloped land and are now building gardens and infrastructure, raising animals and welcoming in help on these projects. We speak a both English and Spanish and can teach about the unique culture in this region, including how the people here eat and make a living from the land and the Salish Sea.
  
  We have 15 beautiful acres, with lots of beautiful trees, wetlands, and a year-round stream. From our driveway, we have walking access to many miles of trails to a nearby Lake.
  
  A typical day here for us includes feeding the chickens and collecting eggs, watering the garden, and tending to one of the many ongoing projects, such as trail building, tree planting, tree limbing, working on one of the building projects, and then often sharing meals around the fire in the evening time.
