Substance use should be done in private, away from children and with the consent of others present. People under the influence of drugs or alcohol / tripping / high are asked to avoid common areas unless necessary.

Sexual activity is not allowed in public / common spaces.

Proselytization is not allowed – that is, promotion of a personal belief or way of thinking without consent. 

Motorized vehicles will not be driven on the premises, except for approved uses such as tractors, excavation, delivery or removal of large objects, mowing, plowing, tree moving, or for accessibility purposes. All vehicles must be parked in designated areas (no parking in common / residential areas). Speed limit is 5mph.

Pets are allowed with prior approval. Dogs must be on leashes at all time. All mammals belonging to members or seasonal guests must be spayed or neutered. Flea and tick treatment prior to arrival is recommended. All pets must maintain vet recommended vaccine requirements for the safety of all animals present. 

Please do not approach horses without the supervision or permission of a qualified member / resident. Beware of electric fences. If you open a gate, close it behind you please.

Guests and volunteers may not cut, damage, alter or remove any plants, trees (living or dead), rocks, or bones without explicit permission. 

Guests/volunteers may not start fires without member / resident supervision. All fires must be fully extinguished when finished.

All garbage, recycling, and compost must be disposed of through the community waste system or packed in/packed out by individuals. 

Food in the common areas is shared, but check with a resident first. Food marked with a name or initials etc. should be respected.

By checking the box, I agree to follow these agreements.
