About the Local Living Venture

The Local Living Venture believes that the North Country has a deep
tap-root of rural skills to draw upon in sharing ways to live simply and economically.

We celebrate our beautiful natural environment, wonderful built environment of villages,
farms and homesteads, and the vibrant community life that resounds throughout.

We seek to be part of and catalyst for an emerging regional economy:
where neighbors share resources; more food is grown and consumed locally;
diversified farming is expanded; value-added agriculture and forestry products
are created; and it happens as part of a community-wide endeavor we are all vested in.

A Homestead Learning Community will teach the next generation of
farmers, foresters, energy workers and homesteaders.
A value-added facility with business incubation will turn those folks
into entrepreneurs and feed our community.
A community-based resource center with strong tourism components, showcasing our natural treasures for all;
sharing our vision with seekers of simpler ways to live.

Featuring the Local Living Festival, seasonal
Resourceful Skills Workshops & Green Homestead & Garden Tours
PLUS the upcoming Homestead Learning Community

Through these programs, and more,
the SLP and YOU demonstrate practical
low-cost creative solutions, that we can all use,
promoting personal and community sustainability
-- in town and in the countryside.

Sharing ways to live simply, economically, and ecologically in the North Country!

We celebrate local knowledge and the revival of old-time skills
blended with appropriate technologies for our times.
