Winter Fun at the Farmhouse

Belfast Cohousing & Ecovillage is holding its 2nd Annual Winter Fun Open House on Sunday, January 10th, from 2-4pm at the farmhouse on 45 Edgecomb Rd in Belfast. This event will feature a slide presentation about cohousing in general, and an update on the growing Belfast project in particular. Children (and the young at heart!) are especially welcome to join in weather-permitting sledding, skating, bonfire and hot cocoa taking place at the same time and location.

Belfast Cohousing & Ecovillage is creating a 36-home multi-generational cohousing community that is rural but just 2 miles from downtown Belfast, will cluster its homes, practice sustainable agriculture, and be an innovative housing development model for rural Maine. Living in community is the centerpiece of this project with sustainability and the many benefits of a vibrant, old-fashioned neighborhood among its goals.

The project currently has 21 Equity Member households (committed to the project) and an additional 22 Exploring Member households (not yet committed), as well as an interested “Friend” list of over 600 individuals nationwide. The goal is thirty-six households of families with children of all ages, couples, and single adults. For more information go to www.mainecohousing.org or call 207 338-9200.
