We are forming a co-housing community near Ukiah CA (115 miles N. of SF) with a main focus on sustainability. We like bicycling and small scale farming. We have about 12 members and plan to build about 20 units. We are still looking for land. We hope to become a diverse group of caring people who enjoy living a conscious, eco-friendly life. Children and pets are welcome.
