# The Genesis Farm

We're looking for a small group of committed collaborators who want to co-build a community dedicated to simple living, shared meaning-making, autonomous self-governance, peer-2-peer spirituality, and the intergenerational transmission of human wisdom. ❤️ 

In particular we're looking for **individuals**, **couples**, &/or **families** who are willing to consider relocating to **Western North Carolina** in the early 2020s, and who have the skills, connections, and passionate energy to help make this vision a reality.  We expect that people with who already live & work in this area, along with folks who have remote jobs, or who have low financial overhead will be in an easier position to make this transition at first.  Our long-term goal is to create a model of shared living in which the overall cost is equivalent to a $1,000/month [Universal Basic Income](/farm/important-ideas/shared-living/the-politics-of-shared-living.md#universal-basic-income). 

Some of the hard skills we're imagining would come in handy includes (but isn't limited to):

* Gardening / Farming
  * Permaculture
  * Hydroponics
  * Aquaponics
* Dharma Teaching
* Meditation
* Cooking
* Meal Planning
* Building
* Architecture
* Legal / Law
* Entrepreneurship
* Programming
  * Distributed Ledger Technology
* Design
* Audio/Video Production
* Writing & Editing
* Grant-writing
* Fundraising
* Working Hard
* Letting Loose
