What types of businesses are being run in your community? Whether those be small-business owners who live in community, or businesses that the whole community runs together to help support the community. I’m particularly interested in OR and WA USA, but anybody’d community businesses, or businesses within community, are of interest to us, as we move toward being able to join a community at some point, we might as well support the communities in our area by buying from them when relevent, or even communities farther afield. ---

Some examples I’ve come across since writing this post are: Twin Oaks makes hammocks and does seed saving and sells the seeds. My friend who lives in Blueberry community runs a gardening business and uses the community’s garden as her teaching space for her classes, its enjoyable, I’ve been over there. ---

Jesus People in Chicago owns a coffeeshop and runs a shelter for people experiencing homelessness. I recently found out about a community about an hour from me who makes mead, yummy.
