Hi everyone! Super grateful to be here!
I am curious if anyone has a LIST or an easy resource (like a book or blog post or maybe a Forum post that already exists) of the roles that every large eco-village would have… basically like back in the old days (Little House on the Prairie style) where you wanted to have a town teacher, doctor, blacksmith, veterinarian, carpenter, wagon wheel repair guy (aka mechanic), storekeeper, etc.
Obviously the list would be adjusted for more modern day life and needs… but rather than start from scratch I’m wondering what already exists out there???
We’re a group of 17 currently living together, with vision of expanding up to 40 or 50max at this location.
Thanks!!
P.S. Here’s the list I’ve got so far:
Kitchen Manager/Chef
Baker
Food Production/Preservation/Inventory
Supply Chain/Property Management Overseeer
Permaculture/Gardener
Home keeper(s) - for public spaces and private homes
Landscape/Yard Maintenance
Compost/Worm bins
Carpenter
Welder
Beekeeper
Teacher/Child Care
Nanny
Electrician
Plumber
Animal Husbandry - chickens, goats, Cow??
Mechanic
Seamstress
Event/Media Team Coordination
IT
Greenhouse
Thanks for you input! It’s much appreciated! Have a blessed day!!
And if you want to know more about our project and can fill one or more of those roles… reach out! Or take a look at www.earthwakinguniversity.com to find out more about what were up to.
